WE Development Platform
Hi Again: Do you know if the developers at WindowEyes, AI2, have anyone developing full-time using Visual Studio? I just thought about this since I read something about another screen reader having folks using Visual Studio full-time and thus their developers are very aware of the windows controls used to develop projects against windows and even for the web. There are great project management tools produced by Microsoft, Visual Studio is the gold standard when it comes to any Microsoft Project development and the Microsoft Database and Database Management tools the best on the market and... WindowEyes is suppose to be a Microsoft Partner so shouldn't I expect them to be using the Microsoft development platforms and management software on a regular basis? If this all sounds like griping perhaps you are right but I have been wating and waiting to hear that WindowEyes would be going Microsoft ever since the big publicity campaign about WindowEyes becoming a Microsoft Partner but heard nothing since. I am not slamming WE but trying to get a handle on if it is going to be a useful tool for a major project I am building in Visual Studio which right now it is not a solid choice. Just frustrated with the hope and now the dwindling expectations of using WindowEyes on modern development platforms - especially Visual Studio.

RE: WE Development Platform
Hi Chip: I have the Office 365 version of WE. The support I would require mostely revolves around what I consider WindowEyes buggs or at best soft spots but if they decide it is not a bug but how WindowEyes is designed to work I would have to pay for support even if I consider bad design and implementation a bug. That said I think that is a course of action I might take for the current bug of WindowEyes not working properly with Visual Studio and the code editor window and the error window. Again though, I have posted about this many, many times with no response from AI2 on list so don't expect much. The other problems of losing focus and phantom speech is likely due to the window eyes handles things behind the scenes and would require some changes to that design analytics so they are not likely to do much there without much pushback from the community and how many in the community can provide solid testing to indicate this is even a problem? I guess I could e-mail them and ask for them to fix Visual Studio, it worked in WE 8.4, and ask about if they will ReDesign the underlying use of the mouse so it is again just a manual tool for client reading and interaction but do you really think they will address either of these questions? They have not so much as commented on either of these questions on list and knowing Doug and Aaron from prior postings would have if they had any interest in resolving either of these situations. But, you have my respect and as a result I will contact them when I get a chance - today or later this week and post up their response. If it were anyone else I wouldn't waste my time but I know how much you have put into the community so I would be a ungrateful moocher if I didn't at least give it a try per your suggestion and so will.

WE Development Platform
Hi: What platform does AI2 use for development of WindowEyes? Do they have any programmers working full-time in Visual Studio - the Microsoft flagship cross-platform development platform? I think it even has development tools for several cell phones, tablets and laptops - not sure about these but I know Visual Studio has tools for targetting these product types in various operating systems. Anyway, I am wondering what platform is used since WE is suppose to be a Microsoft Partner and thus I would expect them to use their partner tools unless this was just a marketting gimik.

Hi Rick, If you have a paid for version of WE (with support), why don't you write to the email support address and ask them; they've always helped me out whenever I've written to support.
