Window-Eyes was designed to add voice access as a stand-alone Windows application which gives you total control over what you hear, when you hear it, and how you hear it. With lightning fast access to the Internet, unprecedented stability, and unrivaled performance, it has become the hottest screen reader available today.
Reviewing 5.5 Beta 1 (Sep 9, 2005)
Like the previous reviewer, I also use JAWS as a screen reader. However, the previous reviewer forgot to mention that in order to use this beta, you must have a previously installed copy of Window eyes 5.0, (demo or commercial), on your system.
The beta is quite stable. I haven't had any problems with it crashing in any applications. With the new additions of the system tray feature and the different menu modes, this screen reader is fast becoming a termite eating its way through the foundation of the market share Freedom Scientific currently has.
The slogan for this should be "the Most Stable Screen Reader On The market". I think it is, but if not, it should be.
Reviewing 5.5 Beta 1 (Sep 8, 2005)
I'm blind and use this and the compeditar jaws on my computer. I personlly like jaws better becaause it response faster to keystrokes and the menue structure is more explanatory. Windoweyes is a great screenreader and everyone should run them both together to make there own choice if they need to use a scree reader. 5.5 beta 1 supports firefox, and better supports excell.
