GW Micro and accessaphoneTMake Office Phones Accessible to Blind and
Visually Impaired For people who are blind or have vision impairments ,
accessing a phone in a typical office can be a difficult challenge.

Caller ID and other important pieces of information are presented
visually on the LCD display of most phones. While the numbers and other
buttons on a phone are easy for a blind or visually impaired person to
push because they are tactile, the information on the LCD display has
been impossible to access .

. . until now.

GW Micro and Tenacity have joined together to make office phones
accessible to blind and visually impaired people through the use of GW
Micro's Window-Eyes and Tenacity's accessaphone. accessaphone provides
audible caller ID information from the telephone as well as audible
message waiting, alternative input methods to conduct call control
including intuitive keyboard hot keys (i.e. Alt A to Answer, Alt H to
Hold and Alt C to Conference, etc.), a call log, the option to keep
notes about the call, and much more.

"While accessaphone does include built-in text-to-speech, some users may
select the option to silence accessaphone and enjoy the added benefits
of using Window-Eyes."

said Dustin Armstrong, Director of Operations of Tenacity . "GW Micro
has been a force in making various technologies accessible to blind
consumers,"

said Dan Weirich, GW Micro's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We
are very excited to work with Tenacity to help continue to make the
workplace even more accessible."
