Hi Pam, If you are able, it wouldn't hurt to give them a call, if you're eager to get going. And, who knows, you may have been lost in the crowd.

Gallegos via Talk Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2017 2:03 PM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: future use of WE Hi all. One thing to keep in mind is that for those of you who choose to hold out until the very last second that WE stops working, you will be more frustrated when it's yanked out from under you and you are caught unprepared. this could easily be a situation where you need to get things done and now you are fighting with learning another screen reader cold turkey. If you take the approach of starting to get comfortable with Jaws or another screen reader, you can still use WE until it doesn't work any more, then you will have a less stressful time switching. I hope this makes sense. -- Raul A.
