Yes they do to provide window eyes for free of charge if you purchase
microsoft office or if you subscribe to office 365 but you would have to
pay for dectalk access 32, vocalizer, or Eloquence to be able to use
them in the free version of window eyes.

Hi Nick: That is true indeed.
There are some Internet and other things WindowEyes handles better
than the other readers, not many but some.
The point for me is that no matter who is creating software it should
flat out work properly or it is not ready for prime time production.
With a screen reader that is almost impossible since they have to deal
with other peoples work, people who create the programs the screen
reader is trying to read and navigate.
This, however, is no excuse but a valid reason for some problems that
a screen reader with a limited staff just wont be able to address for
every individual client and every individual third party program.
That is why management is so important, that is it has to Organize,
prioritize and Implement those features deemed most important to
their clients.
For a screen reader company I would guess it is to get every window in
the Windows Operating System working very, very well, then the
Internet and then other third party applications like Office and only
then develop for other third party applications.
I would stress the entire Microsoft Platform, all programs Microsoft
puts out as my first priority with an eye twoard a few other very
popular programs but then I am not the top dog anyplace nor would I
want to be - allot of stress indeed.
But there is money in making professional tools and popular programs
accessible and before you ever touch a keyboard as a developer you do
a cost / benefit analysis of the project even if just an informal
discussion and Microsoft and a few non Microsoft programs are widely
used in business, industry and Finance and that is where the bulk of
my work would be targeted since Government and Industry will pay for
the screen reader that works the best with packages their employees
use and greenies are, despite some people, very very important to the
survival of any company.
No company, no screen reader.
I would also let my client base know what is on the table for review
like in an agile project management senario so they get an idea of
what is high priority and what is low priority to have an open
discussion of what and why some things may, or not, get addressed in
the near to intermediate future - at least I would try that out to
help get more input of real value from my client base if I were a
small development team with limited resources or I think I would try
it - perhaps not just never been there done that.
Anyway, you are correct but for the fact that WE does not work
flawlesly with the Windows10 operating system in my opinion and that
in my case would be job1 with the internet job2 which also seems to
need some work.
Rick USA.

I bet it's a trade off. The more you use the likes of these other free
creen readers, I bet you'll find issues you don't have with WE.

on WE, but did everyone?? I’ve been having to use other screen reader
