Which is why I've always planned to use the Office version only until I
could save up to buy a new SMA. That's likely to take a few months. I also
have to save up for an updated version of Office since my copy of WE is
apparently not speaking to my copy of Office, at least not in the main
document window of Word..

Hi Vaughn. Good points, however, we had an organisation here that has it on
their computers, and they had siveer outdated copies of JAWS that they had
back in the days and they weren't bothered to upgrade their copies of JAWS
so we told them about the free office version for Window-Eyes and as of a
month ago we have it on their two computers in the organization.

The problem with that is if customers don't purchase new releases, there
will not be a Window-Eyes. I decided soon after its release that
Window-Eyes for Office had two conflicting objectives. The first being to
spread access to a high quality screen reader to people who could not afford
such, but the second was to admit that on-going development of Window-eyes
was/is under severe pressure.
If people decide to stay with window-Eyes for Office at any price, and as
Window-eyes development stalls, you are then locked into legacy products.
There is no doubt that Windows will under-go substantial change and there
will be a screen reader of some sort. If it is a user pays for screen
reader, versus no screen reader because the free one will not function -
then what happens?
Vaughan.

I'll just stick with my Office version if it ever comes down to a choice
between that or the Shark.

Your copy of Windows-eyes isn't going to stop working after 6 months,
regardless of what may happen to WE in general.

HI Guys,
I have this to say, first poor new window-eyes users who just invest
their money into a new copy of WE unless they do not get the WE4Office
for free, what compensation they will get I hope that nobody is expect
them to content themselves with perhaps 10% ridiculous discount on a
new copy of JAWS.
Existent users like mine who now are already familiar with WE,
speaking for myself, I'm now already 52 years old and after I spent a
lot of energy to learn and refine my skills in using window-eyes
during these past 12 years, to say the truth I do not have the energy
to invest in a new learning curve of a new screen reader who happens
to be lucky enough to manage to swallow window-eyes.
Last GW micro should open their mouths and tell us the loyal WE
users, what will be our options in confront to the freedomscientific
company.
After all if my memory serves me well some five years ago when there
were rumors that gw-micro was going to be sold to someone gw-micro
promptly stated that was never to be happen. So now after the seas
are calm and quiet, the inevitable happens.
Thank you,

I personally believe it's more about the decline of Windows usage
and as the paid screen reader declines, and more people go to free
screen readers, the market for paid screen readers will continue to
decline. The day may yet come when that happens or as somebody
once said, nothing lasts forever and the deepest well runs dry.

existingWindow-Eyes customers may be assured that VFOhas their best

Forget all the BS about serving customers. It's clear that the
