Accessible to Blind and Visually Impaired
</p
<p>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.
</p
<p>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.
</p
<p>"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."
