I'll be heading over there pronto. I suspect there's quite a bit of ground to be made up, especially as the XP version wasn't out yet at the demise of Syntha-Voice. Hopefully I won't swamp them too much with ideas and suggestions that I've got backed up from a couple of years ago, added to by the continuing frustrations with JAWS. <grin> All the best, David -----Original Message----- Sent: 12 July 2004 09:02 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: FW: [Winbridge] Window Bridge available again Hi, I can think of at least one list member for whom the following might cause en eyebrow to be twitched. George. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Travis Siegel Sent: 12 July 2004 08:23 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [Winbridge] Window Bridge available again Ok folks, here it is: After more than a year and a half of negotiations with the brother of the previous owner of wb, I've obtained the rights to the source, and have now began making plans for a new version of window bridge. You can get the entire story on http://www.windowbridge.ws. Mailing list, website info, and technical support are all available there. I admit it's petty sparse at the moment, but I'll be working to remedy that over the next couple months. I'm hoping to have a new version out by the end of the year if all goes well. I made the announcement at the ACB conventon in Alabama this past week, and the reception was fairly good. I spent the entire convention time talking to folks, vendors, and resellers to see who would be interested in working with us to get wb back out there. While I can't give a whole lot of details, I can tell you that there are a few hardware companies that are either willing now, or will be after they see a new version to sell wb with their products, and there's at least one company that wants to incorportate wb into their offerings as a standard reader for their products as well. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the outcome of the converence, and I hope to be a vendor myself in a year or two. Feel free to send in bug reports, feature requests, and anything else you think may be of use to me in producing a new version. And please join the mailing list on the web site, so that I can get a feel for how many registered users we have still. There's no record of past users, so I'm going to offer those folks a very good deal for getting all future releases for life just so they're not abandon due to the changeing of hands on the product. Watch the web site for updates and more information as it becomes available. The manual has been updated with new contact information, so feel free to go there and download it and get in touch with us. We're very excited about the product now, and if all works out, we think everyone else will be too. _______________________________________________ a list for discussion of the window-bridge screen reader [log in to unmask] http://www.screenreview.org/mailman/listinfo/winbr idge VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
