GW Micro - Support - Recommended Applications

The GW Micro technical support team often performs extensive testing with many applications, and has developed a list of recommended programs based on several criteria, including accessibility, performance, and stability.

This list is not comprehensive; Window-Eyes supports literally thousands of applications right out of the box with little to no configuration necessary.

We are often asked, however, which applications we recommend, and therefore offer a concise look at the applications that work well, both with and without Window-Eyes. This list is also dynamic, and will change periodically as the GW Micro technical support teams reviews new software on a regular basis.

Links to downloadble versions of most of these recommended applications can be found in the Utilities section of the GW Micro Support - Downloads page.

Selecting a name of an application listed below will open that application's website so that you can learn more about a specific product and the features that make it a recommended application.
