past.

lawsute brought on by them. Keep up the good work!

I couldn’t see Greedom being so generous.
Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I’d like to see Freedom Scientific try and beat that. However, I do have a
question about this. Won’t that reduce GW Micro’s finances significantly?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Wayne, Indiana (January 14, 2014) - GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com) is
proud to make a revolutionary announcement. GW Micro and Microsoft Corp. have
partnered to make Window-Eyes available to users of Microsoft Office at no
cost. Window-Eyes is a screen reader that enables people who are blind,
visually impaired, or print disabled to have full access to Windows PCs and
makes the computer accessible via speech and/or Braille.
To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW Micro and
Microsoft have collaborated on this global initiative, available in over 15
languages, to enable anyone using Microsoft Office 2010 or later to also use
Window-Eyes for free. Access to technology is critical to people who are blind
or visually impaired in order to have the same opportunity to compete in the
workplace. As such, this initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the
potential to reduce barriers for millions of people who are blind or visually
impaired around the world.
As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become more and more important
as the number of people with age-related macular degeneration and other retinal
degenerative diseases increases. "This significant change in the way we are doing
business reflects the changing perception of accessibility and also technology in
general. Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and GW Micro are leading
the way," said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro.
Weirich believes this technology can help millions of people gain access to their PC, and
that providing it free of charge will open a whole new world of assistive technology to
many people.
In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and specifically, the
changing face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of GW Micro and
Microsoft have the goal of providing accessibility to people who are blind and
visually impaired for the long term.
Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously. “By partnering with GW
Micro in this endeavor we are demonstrating Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to
provide all of our customers with the technology and tools to help each person
be productive in both their work and personal lives.” said Rob Sinclair, Chief
Accessibility Officer for Microsoft.
Eligible customers, using Microsoft Office 2010 or higher, will be able to
download a full version of Window-Eyes starting today at
www.WindowEyesForOffice.com. The website provides download instructions as
well as additional details about this offer.
GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com) has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive
technology industry since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer
driven solutions.
