Custom Scripting Service

Do you or your organization have a software application that you need
to be accessible to the blind? Let us help you make your software
accessible with custom scripting solutions for Window-Eyes.

Whether you are a large corporation, a government agency, or an
individual, there are many times when you need to access an application
that is not accessible out of the box. Let us help you make the
software application accessible through the power of Window-Eyes
scripting.

Window-Eyes scripting can be used in many ways, including making an
application accessible, making an application more efficient for a
blind or visually impaired user, or to enhance existing accessibility
to an application. GW Micro offers custom script-writing solutions
designed to your specifications.

What is involved in the custom script-writing process?

There is a simple three-step process to creating custom scripts for
Window-Eyes. All of the following steps are completed offsite. Onsite
work can be arranged for an additional fee. Once you have completed
each step, there is no obligation to take the next step.

Step 1: Application Analysis - $125 to get started

Contact GW Micro to begin your software application analysis. During
this step, GW Micro will look at your software application to determine
how long it will take to quote the script for your software. Software
can be extremely complicated, and this allows you to find out how many
hours it will take GW Micro to quote the custom scripting solution. GW
Micro will spend an hour with your software to determine the amount of
hours it will take to quote the custom script. To provide you with an
accurate quote, GW Micro will need to know your requirements for your
software. That is, we will need a list of all of the screens and areas
you require to be accessible. This list must be provided to GW Micro
prior to starting step 1.

Step 2: Cost Evaluation - $125 per hour

Once you have completed the first step, you will know exactly how many
hours it will take to quote a custom Window-Eyes script for your
software. The amount of hours will vary depending upon the amount of
work needed to make the software accessible. GW Micro will perform the
quoted amount of hours, and determine an exact amount of how many hours
it will take to write your custom Window-Eyes script. Upon completion
of this step, you will know exactly how many hours it will take to
write your custom Window-Eyes script.

Step 3: Custom Script Development - $125 per hour

The third and final step is the actual writing of your custom script.
As with the quote, the amount of hours to write the script will vary
depending on your specifications and the size of your project.

Once the script is written, GW Micro will walk you through installing
the script to ensure it will work on your system via user-testing. Once
the script is complete, the third step includes a GW Micro trainer
spending up to three hours training you how to use the Window-Eyes
script with your application. If you require more than three hours of
training, custom training can be purchased for an additional fee.

If you choose, you may also hire GW Micro to write custom scripts based
on time and materials at $125 per hour, but the above three-step
process is our preferred method to ensure you receive the exact custom
Window-Eyes script that you need.

For more information or to start the custom script-writing process,
