Well windows pro is what I am using to write this message. While I
don't have window-eyes loaded right now I do use it on this pc quite
a lot. When not if but when Microsoft does what they have to do to
stay alive there will be nothing for gw micro to do accept maybe add
support for a few new programs. No big deal. It is going to happen
it has to.

Subject: RE: Window-eyes on a Microsoft Tablet
You are correct about the future of PC's.
I still have my Windows 7 Desktop computer running Window-Eyes 8.0.4
and it's not a huge desktop, either.
I wanted a laptop, but I like the idea of a tablet more and more, as
long as I could have a Bluetooth keyboard and the loving Window-Eyes.
I'm still using my old Motorola Q9C cell phone with Mobile Speak on
it. lol.
It will be great if Microsoft makes Windows Pro accessible and if
Window-Eyes can adapt to that.
I do also love the idea of using a keyboard or touch screen.
Great thoughts, and very true ones. <smile>
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

Well pat there is hope then. Gw micro will add touch. They have
to.
Then windows pro will be coming soon to a phone near you. It has
to.
Microsoft has two choices at this point. Get in to the phone with
pro
where there are real advantages or go and become big blue and do b
to
b. pc sells will hit rock bottom this year and Microsoft knows it.
look
at what acer and del are doing right now. They know it to and they
are
scrambleing to get in to the mobile world in a new way. Microsoft
has
no plans to upgraid windows phone so they have to do something. It
will be windows pro on a phone and windows rt on a phone. We of
course will want windows pro. Then we will have window-eyes with
touch
support and all that great keyboard support from windows on our
phones
using the Bluetooth keyboard. Best of both worlds if you ask me.
More
and more windows apps will become accessable the new laws will
force
Microsoft to push for this and you won't be living in the walled
garden
that is IOS and you will have choices on what access tech you use
unlike on Iphone or android. As you know I have been quite vocal on
android accessability not that it is bad it is ok. It needs a lot
of
help though. The nice thing about a windows pro phone is this.
you
don't have to choose between android and windows. Just run them
dool boot
and have them both. It will be all about choice. Bring it on I say.

I had an Android tablet for about 3 weeks in December, and I
wouldn't
trade a keyboard with a laptop or any computer. The touch screen
jestures for the Android were not that great. I sent the tablet
back.
It was a lesson learned. No tablets for me with out a keyboard.
I do think the IOS is better on the Jestures, however.
I know someone who has a Windows Tablet running Window-Eyes with a
keyboard.
I wouldn't mind that.
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,

I must admit at the outset a bias on my part: I am a confirmed
knob
freak at age 69. I have also operated the Apple IPhone with all
of
its gestures and touch operations; and for my part, nothing beats
a
good solid mechanical keyboard with real buttons that you can
press
to reliably get what you want! Perhaps touch screens will become
more
reliable as they improve; but I don't think I'd want to use a
tablet
computer as long as I could have something with real buttons to
operate. Granted, the modern PC has no knobs; but the buttons
generally carry the same reliability that you can get from knobs
that
you
turn.
But for those who want touch, gestures, and all that, I sincerely
hope that Window-Eyes can someday soon run on such equipment.
For my
part, though, give me knobs and buttons!

Hi
probably not, Window-Eyes does not work with touch currently.

and which ones does it not work with?
