Code Factory, developers of software solutions for the blind and

wireless tasks. Along with basic functionality of calling and
contacts management, users will have access to emails, web
browsing and messaging.
Code Factory CEO Eduard Sánchez explains: “We are very
excited to see that Microsoft has decided to count on our input
and knowledge of the field of accessibility for the blind and
visually impaired, based on 10 years of experience developing
accessibility services for mobile devices. Combining Code
Factory’s expertise in mobile accessibility with Microsoft’s
uniquely personal smartphone to enable Mobile Accessibility for
Windows Phone 8 has been a very enriching experience.“

rich Windows Phone developer ecosystem. Code Factory has done an
incredible job of bringing their Mobile Accessibility experience

Mobile Accessibility, with its suite of apps designed to make
Windows Phone easier to see, hear, and use, is now available for
Windows Phone 8 to address the needs of our blind and visually
impaired customers.”
