Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1. Today is the day that you have been waiting for! Today is the day that Window-Eyes becomes even easier to use with its brand new user interface. Today is the day that blind consumers now have even better access to Microsoft Word and access to Visual Studio 2010. Window-Eyes pulls ahead of the competition by supporting Internet Explorer 9. It also now incorporates more Apps providing more access to more applications. The excitement has been building, and the time has come. To learn how to make your life easier, help you through your educational experience, and make yourself more marketable in the workplace, stay tuned to learn how to download Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1.

Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1. Today, we are going to take a look at some of the vast improvements Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 brings to Microsoft Word. Currently, the system used for this demo is Window-Eyes 7.2. The reason version 7.2 is being used currently is so that you can hear the difference in speed. First, we will go to the Desktop by pressing Windows Key-D. I have a document that has a table of contents in it. We'll open the document and then press Control-G to allow us to move to page 4, since that is where the table of contents is located. Type 4 and then press Enter. Now, we will begin to Down Arrow through the document and you can see that the document is very slow. Let's try it with Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1. Through the miracle of editing, we are now back in the same document at the top of page 4 in the same table of contents. Now when I press Down Arrow, Window-Eyes responds immediately and is so much faster! You will really notice the faster speed of Window-Eyes in more complex documents that include items like a table of contents and tables. This is one of the huge improvements we have made in Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 to continue to make you more efficient.

Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1.

Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1. Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 is the first version of Window-Eyes to re-brand the notion of scripts into a more comfortable and recognizable term: Apps. Window-Eyes Apps embrace a broader sense of usage by including everything from program enhancements that deal specifically with accessibility issues to more convenience-oriented apps and everything in between. While the underlying structure of these Window-Eyes enhancements is the same industry standard that has been in place since its inception, the concept of an app is more widely known, and the use of this term will help eliminate the confusion often associated with the more technical expression.

Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the release of Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1. Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 boasts many new features. The first of these features that you will immediately notice with Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 is the completely redesigned user interface. One of our goals at GW Micro is to make our customers more efficient in their everyday use of Window-Eyes. In addition, significant customer feedback revealed that it was time to upgrade our user interface, so with the goal of efficiency and the feedback we received, we put a lot of effort into making the new and improved user interface.
