Accessibility for Windows Phone 8


Terrassa, Spain, Microsoft enlists the help of Code Factory for 
mobile accessibility


Code Factory, developers of software solutions for the blind and 
the visually impaired, has announced today that their Mobile 
Accessibility suite of apps will support Microsoft’s Windows 
Phone 8.  Mobile Accessibility for Windows Phone 8 will be 
offered free of charge in the Windows Phone Store.  Blind and 
visually impaired users will be able to access and enjoy their 
devices within a suite of accessible apps  for the most common 
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.“

“I am extremely excited to have Code Factory as part of our 
rich Windows Phone developer ecosystem.  Code Factory has done an 
incredible job of bringing their Mobile Accessibility experience 
to Windows Phone,” said Darren Laybourn, corporate vice 
president, Windows Phone, Microsoft Corp.  “Code Factory’s 
history and expertise of developing products that eliminate 
barriers to accessibility in mobile technology made them the 
obvious first choice for us to work with.  We are delighted that 
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.”
