System Access 3.0 Sets New Standard in Assistive Technology MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 1
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Serotek Corporation, the leading
provider of internet and digital information accessibility software and
services, today released version 3.0 of its award-winning System Access
software. With this release, Serotek now offers the first full-featured
screen access product with support for 64-bit operating systems. This is a
breakthrough for blind and visually impaired consumers and IT professionals
alike.
Blind information technology professionals have long struggled with the
issue of being a step behind their sighted counterparts due to a lag in access
technology and its inability to support the latest mainstream developments.
With the release of System Access 3.0, the only existing screen access support
for 64-bit Windows operating systems on the market, Serotek has leveled the
employment playing field for skilled IT professionals. Without it, blind IT
professionals would be locked out of administering 64-bit servers and work
stations which are prevalent in most corporate environments. With it, a blind
IT professional can plug in a USB drive containing the System Access 3.0
software and instantly provide technical support services to anyone in the
world.
Increasingly, retailers are stocking computers running 64-bit versions of
Windows so blind consumers were facing a similar dilemma. Now, new computers,
from the smallest Netbook to the most powerful server, that are running OEM
versions of 64-bit Windows, are instantly accessible with System Access 3.0.
Consumers who are blind or have low vision can purchase a computer product
without wondering if it will be accessible.
"Consumers and IT professionals alike no longer need to concern themselves
with whether a computer is running a 32 or 64-bit operating system," said Mike
Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, "System Access provides easy access in either
scenario."
Version 3.0 also features voice over IP, speech and refreshable Braille
output, and the most compelling support for iTunes 8 on the market.
"With this release, Serotek continues to raise the bar in the assistive
technology industry" said Calvo, "and exponentially boosts the digital
lifestyle for the blind and visually impaired while at home, work or
traveling."
The update to version 3.0 will happen seamlessly for existing System
Access customers with no need for user intervention. New customers can begin
