FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fort Wayne, Indiana (May 29, 2012) - GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com) and 
Independence Science (www.independencescience.com) are proud to announce an 
even stronger partnership.  Independence Science (ISci) was the first company 
to help make science accessible to students who are blind or visually impaired. 
 Because of the innovative work by Independence Science, students who are blind 
or visually impaired now have access to hands-on science experiments and are 
able to analyze statistical data for the experiments they perform.

The advanced screen reader Window-Eyes, used with the Window-Eyes app for 
Logger Pro, produced by GW Micro provides the best possible voice access to the 
Logger Pro PC application for students who are blind or visually impaired.  
Because of the superior support from GW Micro, Independence Science will no 
longer maintain updates for JAWS and only provide support for future versions 
of Window-Eyes.

"We are very happy to provide top-notch support that enables blind and visually 
impaired students to access science curricula," said Dan Weirich, Vice 
President of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro.  

"Independence Science is committed to the best possible access for our 
customers, which is why we have chosen GW Micro," said Dr. Cary Supalo, 
President of Independence Science.  "They provide the best possible solution 
with maximum support. While we have researched other screen reader companies, 
none of them have been able to reach the advanced capabilities of GW Micro."

The partnership between the two companies continues to grow and this synergy 
has led to the development of the ISci Lab Solution.  The ISci Lab Solution 
makes the science classroom more accessible to students who are blind or 
visually impaired. These talking solutions will enable people who are blind and 
visually impaired to pursue education and careers in the Science, Technology, 
Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields where they have been traditionally 
underrepresented.  For more information about the ISci Lab Solution, including 
a video demonstration of Dr. Cary Supalo (a blind scientist himself) using the 
product, visit http://www.gwmicro.com/Window-Eyes/ISci_Lab/. 

GW Micro has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive technology industry since 
1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer driven solutions.

Independence Science is the leading developer of accessible technology for 
students with visual impairments in the science laboratory. ISci research is 
funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
