Window-Eyes, to me, is one of the great and more troubling mysteries of
the blindness assistive technology landscape at the moment. It has
received very few updates since GW Micro became part of AI Squared,
which in turn has now become merged with VFO, which also produces the
JAWS screen reader. While JAWS continues to receive regular updates
containing many bug fixes as well as fabulous enhancements, Window-Eyes
seems to be languishing.
Its last update, version 9.5.4, was released in January and only
included a few enhancements. However, a few weeks ago the GWMicro.com
Web site was down briefly. When it returned, we were presented with an
older version of the site, which listed version 9.4 as the newly
released version. While the free Window-Eyes for Office is still
offering version 9.5.4, the GWMicro Web site still lists version 9.4 as
the latest version. Oddly enough, many of the apps for Window-Eyes have
been recently updated. Therefore, users of Window-Eyes should go into
the Apps menu to update any apps which you have installed.
