Abstract Supernova has undergone exciting new developments in
the last 12 months and this session will be of value to anyone
dealing with PC computing and visual impairment. Participants
will see a full product demonstration, using a range of Windows
applications with synchronized magnification, speech and Braille
output.
Supernova provides magnification, multilingual speech output,
and Braille support for Windows environments and associated
applications. This powerful screen reader has an easy-to-use
control panel, allowing full control over a wide range of
features, and is the only screen access product designed for both
blind and low vision computer users.
Participants will learn how Supernova can be deployed across an
organization in order to make information technology fully
accessible to those with a visual impairment without impacting on
sighted users. Ideal for organizations catering for a range of
needs, and for individuals who require a more powerful and
flexible solution, Supernova comes with a unique server
installation option for network-wide access. This means users are
no longer confined to a "special" workstation and IT Managers can
benefit from centralized administration common in mainstream
client-server computing.
Dolphin’s goal is to achieve the mainstreaming of visually
impaired access on industry standard systems. Supernova does not
modify Windows, as we believe that our job as an accessibility
aid developer is to make existing systems accessible, not to
change them. We want to bring accessibility to Windows operating
systems and applications into the mainstream by developing
assistive technology that's easy to install, support and maintain
on an enterprise-wide basis.
