Think Window-Eyes First - This is the first time in the history of computer
technology, where a full-featured screen reader is ready on the same day as the
general release of a new operating system. No other screen reader is ready.
In July 2000 at the summer conferences GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes
reading Adobe PDF files. No other screen reader was ready.
In September 2001 at the WCD exhibition GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes
running under Windows XP. No other screen reader was ready.
In March 2002 at the CSUN conference GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes version
4.2 utilizing Flash technology. No other screen reader was ready.
With the January 2003 release of version 4.21, Window-Eyes was the first to
implement Display Chain Management, the standard that allows applications such
as screen readers and screen magnifiers to co-exist peacefully. No other
screen reader was ready.
In March 2003 at the CSUN conference GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes running
under Citrix MetaFrame XP, Microsoft Terminal Services and Microsoft Windows
XP/2003 Professional Remote Desktop. No other screen reader was ready.
When Window-Eyes 4.5 was released in September 2003 it had the first and to
this date the only error reporting system available in a screen reader. This
error reporting system improves stability and reliability, which are critical
to a productive, enjoyable computing experience. No other screen reader was
ready then and no other screen reader is ready today.
In November 2005, the release of Window-Eyes 5.5 offered full support of
Mozilla Firefox running DHTML applications. No other screen reader was ready.
December 4, 2006 GW Micro released Window-Eyes 6.0 with Microsoft Office 2007
support and support for the new ribbon interface. No other screen reader was
ready.
Today - January 30, 2007 GW Micro released a public beta version of Window-Eyes
that will run under the new operating system, Windows Vista. This is the first
time in the history of computer technology, where a full-featured screen reader
is ready on the same day as the general release of a new operating system. No
other full-featured screen reader is ready.
