Window-Eyes is nothing less than the most stable screen reader available on the market today. Featuring Windows 2000, Windows XP (Home, Professional, and Media Center), Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista (all 32-bit and 64-bit versions, including Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium, Vista Home Basic, Vista Business, and Vista Enterprise), all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2008, and all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7, Window-Eyes puts you in the hands of the most powerful screen reading software ever created.

Window-Eyes gives total control over what you hear and how you hear it. Plus, with its enhanced Braille support that control is extended to what you feel as well. On top of all that, the power and stability of Window-Eyes means that most applications work right out of the box with no need for endless tinkering in order to get them to function properly.

Window-Eyes is your key to opening the doors of a world with unlimited information. A world where work takes precedence over technical hassles. Window-Eyes is a leading software application for the blind and visually impaired, which converts components of the Windows operating system into synthesized speech allowing for complete and total access to Windows based computer systems. Window-Eyes integration into Windows is seamless, providing you with instant access to the operating system without having to learn a complicated set of keystrokes.

Applications that utilize standard Microsoft controls will be spoken automatically with little to no configuration necessary. Other applications may require simple modifications to Window-Eyes whose options are easily accessible via a well organized, speech control panel.

The Window-Eyes User's Guide provides detailed instructions and examples for beginning configuration options such as voice parameters and verbosity, as well as advanced instruction for tasks such as setting up user and hyperactive windows, and creating customized settings for individual applications.

GW Micro is committed to the user. Their partnerships with mainstream companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, Macromedia, and PeopleSoft allows them to make Window-Eyes one of the primary tools for testing product accessibility. They work hard to make sure that Window-Eyes provides you with the best access possible for the most popular applications.

You expect a lot from Window-Eyes. And you should. GW Micro raises those expectations further with Window-Eyes, designed to harness the power of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Windows has customized itself to individual work habits and preferences. Window-Eyes does the same, making it the most productive, easy-to-use screen reader ever.

Window-Eyes Licenses

There are four types of Window-Eyes licenses:

• Single User License
• Site License (5 Users ; 10 Users )
• Agency License
• Wide Area Network (WAN) License

Single User

The Single User License is the most common and simplest to explain - it is either one person or one computer. It is most often a copy of Window-Eyes intended for one person. That person may own multiple computers with Window-Eyes installed on each of them and still purchase a Single User License. In this situation of course only that single person may use that copy of Window-Eyes. There is one alteration of the Single User License and that is the situation often found in a public school with one adapted computer but multiple students sharing that one computer. In this situation only one student at a time may use the computer.

Site License

A Site License for Window-Eyes allows for the use on many computers by many simultaneous users. A site license is intended to be used in one physical location or one physical campus. For example, a college campus may purchase a site license. However, if there is a satellite campus on the opposite side of the city, a second copy or site license must be purchased. The most typical application of a site license is a computer lab. GW Micro sells site licenses in increments of 5 so you may purchase a 5-user, 10-user, 15-user etc. site license. If you have 8-users of Window-Eyes then you should purchase a 10-user site license. One CD is furnished with the Site License.

Agency License

An Agency License is similar in some ways to a site license. The difference is that the locations may all be different but there must be one purchasing entity. An example of this would be a cooperative school system, where 4 counties work together to provide an itinerant teacher for students in various locations. One purchasing entity buys the copies of Window-Eyes but they are installed in several locations. The minimum initial purchase must be for 5 copies, but afterward additional single copies may be purchased. Multiple CDs are provided with an Agency License so if you purchase 5 Agency Licenses you will receive 5 CDs and 5 unique serial numbers. Upgrades may be purchased individually for each copy which means it is possible to own 5 Agency License but to purchase upgrades for three of them.

Wide Area Network (WAN) License

A Wide Area Network License (or WAN License) supports up to 5 users and is identical to the Agency License in every way except for the number of CDs and how it may be upgraded. A WAN License consist of one CD with one serial number. Typically the CD is held by an IT department who pushes the installs to individual computers or does some type of network install. Since there is one CD and serial number upgrades are sold to all users. This means a 10-user WAN License purchases 10 upgrades. A typical application of the WAN License would be an insurance company with employees around the world in various locations and perhaps using a Citrix/Terminal Services environment.
