Code Factory’s Mobile Accessibility: first ever software 
application that allows the use of a Braille display on Android!

Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, May 24th 2012

After launching Mobile Accessibility in March 2011 and with more 
than 35.000 downloads worldwide, Code Factory has worked for 
months to make Braille display usage possible with the product.  
Once more, we have listened to our customers and turned their 
desires into reality.

“Based on the tremendous response from our customers, we have 
been more than motivated to keep improving this product and make 
the impossible possible: add Braille support for the first time 
on this platform” says Eduard Sanchez, CEO.  “Our ambition is 
to keep improving our products and keep up with the constant OS 
updates and add new features that add value to our products.”

This free upgrade is available for all our customers, whether 
purchased in Google from one of our distributors, the free 
download version of AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite from AT&T, or 
Wireless Accessibility from Sprint, Boost Mobile and Virgin 
Mobile USA.  It includes the following Braille features:


a.    Use the power of a Braille display in the same way as on a 
computer and similar to what is available with Mobile Speak 4 and 
above.
b.    Enabling a solution for Deaf Blind users to be able to use 
Android devices for the first time.
c.    Ability to use various grades, including grade 1 / 2 and 
computer Braille for both input and output.
d.    Option to disable speech when Braille is turned on, 
allowing users to work in silent environments like meetings
