A last-minute free gift for Dad (or anyone else)
How many of you have aging fathers who think that computers that talk or
have magnification are just for their blind offspring, requiring all kinds
of money and studying? Today, you can give your father a present for free
that will open up a new world and an easier way of doing things
technological.
There's a secret in the world of assistive technology that wants to be told.
It's the middle of June, and far too few of us are aware that, since
January, anyone anywhere in the world who can't see to read the screen, can
use any computer that has access to the internet.
In January, the creation of the Accessibility is A Right (AIR) Foundation
was announced, together with its first partnership: offering a free
download from Serotek, called SA To Go, <www.sa.togo.com) that, in a matter
of seconds, transforms any Windows-based computer with internet connections
into a fully accessible system to blind or visually impaired people.
SA To Go is a downloadable version of Serotek Corp.'s System Access program.
It provides text-to-speech (with the outstanding NeoSpeech voices) and
screen magnification. Such popular applications as Microsoft Word, Excel,
Outlook, Power Point, and more are made fully accessible instantly.
When the computer is turned off, the System Access software goes away,
leaving no trace of itself, to confuse those fully sighted users who don't
want a computer that talks or produces large font.
Show your dad, your uncle, your grandfather - or even yourself - this
best-kept secret in the world of accessibility. Check out www.satogo.com -
for free!
And then visit www.serotek.com for a more complete picture of System Access
and its amazing Mobile Network.
