AssistiveWare announces VisioVoice

AssistiveWare today announced VisioVoice for Mac OS X, a product designed for blind and vision-impaired Mac users that adds multilingual support to Apple's VoiceOver technology as well as providing a number of other speech and vision related features to enhance access to Mac OS X. "With VisioVoice we want to remove visual barriers by making it possible for non-English vision impaired users to make use of Apple's VoiceOver while boosting access for all vision impaired users. VisioVoice will also enhance VoiceOver with the naturally sounding, high quality voices of the Acapela Group." VisioVoice will be demonstrated at next week's CSUN conference in Los Angeles and is expected to ship in June. Initially, a limited number of languages will be supported; the company is accepting user input regarding which languages to support through a survey on its website.
