FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 13, 2003 Window-Eyes 4.21 is released! (Fort Wayne, IN) -- GW Micro, creator of Window-Eyes, is proud to announce the release of Window-Eyes Standard 4.21 and Window-Eyes Professional 4.21. Window-Eyes is a software screen reader for people who are blind that gives them the power to carry out complicated tasks with the ease previously enjoyed only by the mouse user. Since approximately 33% of its employees are blind, GW Micro realizes the importance of having a product that meets both leisure and work-time needs. Below are just a few examples of how those needs are being addressed: . GW Micro has worked closely with RealNetworks to provide accessibility to their new and exciting RealOne Player product, using MSAA. This new access provides the user with all the audio available on the Web. . Many people who are blind are programmers and need access to available tools. GW Micro is pleased to offer support in their new version 4.21 to the Microsoft Visual Studio.net product, thus allowing programmers who are blind access to the most modern tools. . Several major corporations use Lotus Notes for their e-mail. Lotus Notes Version 6 and Window-Eyes 4.21 meet their e-mail needs reliably. Window-Eyes 4.21 also features the long-awaited video chaining element (DCM) which, when fully implemented by other companies, will greatly enhance the lives of people who must have different assistive technology products installed. This technology will enable agencies working with people who are blind to show all types of AT products and not have to be concerned about order of installation. Clarence Whaley, Director of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro, stated, "Everywhere I travel instructors are concerned about having many AT products on their systems because of the conflicts that can and do occur. DCM is the answer to that problem; we strongly encourage other companies to implement DCM as soon as possible. It is now available for Window-Eyes users." Window-Eyes 4.21 is now available for purchase. Window-Eyes Standard compatible with Windows 9x and Me retails for $595.00; Window-eyes Professional compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 9x and Me retails for $795.00. Owners of Window-Eyes Standard 4.2 and Professional 4.2 can download a free upgrade to version 4.21 from our web page: www.gwmicro.com Dan Weirich, co-owner of GW Micro, states, "As I travel around the country, I am so pleased with the impact Window-Eyes is having on our customers. We are committed to producing the product of choice for people who are blind." Founded in 1990, GW Micro, a Fort Wayne, Indiana-based, assistive technology company, is committed to producing the most reliable screen reader available for people who are blind. Window-Eyes allows them to hear (with speech synthesis) and feel (via refreshable Braille displays) the Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and Windows XP operating systems.
