Window-Eyes 6.1 Beta 2 Is Available Now!
Mar-05-2007GW Micro is proud to announce Window-Eyes 6.1 Beta 2, the most powerful, stable, reliable, and most secure screen reader available.
Following the successful release of Window-Eyes 6.1 Beta 1 (the first full fledged screen reader to support Windows Vista the very same day Windows Vista was released), Window-Eyes 6.1 Beta 2 offers many enhancements for all Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista users, and continues to be the only screen reader to provide full support for Windows Vista.
Thanks to customer feedback, many of the reported problems during the beta cycle have been resolved. In addition, the Window-Eyes Error Reporting feature has allowed us to solve several elusive problems, further cementing the rock solid nature of Window-Eyes under all supported operating systems.
Like Window-Eyes 6.1 Beta 1, Window-Eyes 6.1 Beta 2 leads the way in stability, performance, and security by offering continued support of Windows Vista security enhancements, such as User Account Control, the Ease of Access Center, the Vista login screen and all other secure desktops. Applications that require elevation (such as the Registry Editor, and other administrative tools) are fully supported in a secure environment. Recommending that security features be disabled under Windows Vista defeats the purpose of the operating system in the first place. Not only does Window-Eyes provide access to all secure features of Vista, it also puts them to use. Take, for example, the new Window-Eyes Startup Options that require administrative rights to be changed. Window-Eyes implements Vista's security model by requiring the User Account Control dialog to be confirmed before any administrative changes can be made. By fully supporting the Windows Vista security model, Window-Eyes makes your computing experience a safe and reliable one.
