Window-Eyes 6.1 Has Been Released!
Apr-16-2007GW Micro is proud to announce the official release of Window-Eyes 6.1. Window-Eyes made history as the first full fledged screen reader available the same day Windows Vista, the latest operating system from Microsoft, was released. Window-Eyes users were able to access all of Vista's new features, and take advantage of new security enhancements. Now, thanks to all of the feedback from our public beta cycle, Window-Eyes 6.1 is officially available with unprecedented performance, stability, and security for Windows Vista.
Although Windows Vista was the primary focus of Window-Eyes 6.1, there are plenty of enhancements for Windows 2000, Windows XP (Home, Professional, and Media Center), and Windows 2003 users too, including more robust support for Microsoft Office 2007 and the Office 2007 Ribbon, enhanced User Profiles, support for new Braille displays, enhancements for Firefox and Internet Explorer 7, new silent install options for corporate rollouts, and we've resolved several issues reported by you.
Thank you to everyone involved in the public beta cycle. Window-Eyes continues to lead the way in adaptive technology because of the dedication of our customers.
