A happy news to all those who want to buy a Screen Reader but can not afford the higher price of it! GW Micro is announced that Window-Eyes is now available as free for Microsoft Office 2010 or later users! Can’t believe? Below I am pasting the Official announcement about this offer.
About Window-Eyes: Window-Eyes is another popular screen reader for Windows platform. Window-Eyes is created by GW Micro, who is also created various accessible applications like GW Connect and more. After JAWS and NVDA, Window-Eyes is the mostly used screen reader in the world. Window-Eyes works with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, All 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Window-Eyes gives total control over what you hear and how you hear it. Plus, with its enhanced Braille support that control is extended to what you feel as well. On top of all that, the power and stability of Window-Eyes means that most applications work right out of the box with no need for endless tinkering in order to get them to function properly. Window-Eyes is a leading software application for the blind and visually impaired, which converts components of the Windows operating system into synthesized speech allowing for complete and total access to Windows based computer systems.
Here is the Official announcement:
“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 o! f 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.
