Hi Shaun.
I suggest you take another look at the www.windoweyesforoffice.com
website,
there is a frequently asked questions section which explains how technical
support can be obtained and the extra revenue generated from additional
voice purchases also helps. There will be no difference in the standard
of
support you will receive from gW, you will be treated just like a customer
who has the full retail edition of Window-Eyes if you buy the support
packages.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Word
sounds promising, yes but i have to admit some skeptisim with regard to
anything Microsdfot gets theirn handson these days.
MS usually collaborate for two specific reasons
1) the suddenly free software( in this case windowseyes) may well be short
lived and nave no customer support ( this happened to a product called
Truepaint or something similar. the package had no customer support and
the
company folded)
2( the only people who are likely to benefit are Microsoft. not the end
users or the company with whom MS collaborate.
Having said that I am not saying the everythim MS does is bad, they have
got
a few good points but the above caveats are worth bearing in mind.

It's a totally free copy of WindowEyes that's available for anyone who
has
Microsoft Office.
From their website:
GW Micro, in collaboration with Microsoft, is excited to provide people
who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled with a completely
functional and free license of GW Micro's Window-Eyes screen reader.
Microsoft is offering customers who have a licensed version of Office 2010
or later the ability to download Window-Eyes, a screen reader for Windows
PCs, free of charge.
