Window-Eyes 6.1 is Windows Vista ready!

Universal Low Vision Aids and GW Micro are 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.

Now on to the juicy details! Window-Eyes 6.1 is a FREE upgrade for Window-Eyes 6.0 users. If you own Window-Eyes 6.0 and are using a computer with Windows 2000, Windows XP (Home or Professional) or Windows Server 2003, just go to the Window-Eyes Help menu, and choose the Window-Eyes Upgrade option.

If you are using Windows Vista (all 32-bit versions are supported, including Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium, Vista Home Basic, Vista Business, and Vista Enterprise), you are required to use a Window-Eyes 6.1 CD to ensure a complete installation.
