IVONA Accessibility Package helps the blind and visually impaired people

„For visually impaired people a computer with a Text-To-Speech solution is the only way to access the Web resources, quick communication and normal work opportunities”, says Lukasz Osowski, CEO at IVONA Text To Speech. - "IVONA Accessibility Package, which we introduce for sale worldwide, is also a breakthrough because of the price, an order of magnitude lower than other solutions. Our mission is to help blind people, regardless of place of residence."

The IVONA Accessibility Packages include TTS voices developed with BrightVoice™ Technology (British English or American English) and the IVONA Reader (text reader) which makes it easier to actively access the Web, listen to the books’ contents and individually create audiobooks. All IVONA TTS voices offer 22 kHz sound sampling frequency quality and the SAPI5 standard. For additional information on the IVONA Text-to-Speech technology for the blind and visually impaired please visit www.ivona.com/accessibility.

"The package includes also the special NVDA program designated for reading computer screen content (screenreader), currently one of the world’s best solutions of that type.” - says Lukasz Osowski. – “Moreover we support the development of NVDA screenreader project, by making a special donation from every IVONA accessibility package that we sell”.

As a result of BrightVoice Technology being applied to the newest IVONA Voices, the sound of the spoken words, whether a single sentence or an entire book, is exceptionally natural and fluent, as if being read by a real person. New IVONA 2 release can intelligently interpret addresses, dates, numerals, abbreviations, accents in words, sentence intonation, as well as intonations in virtually any complex linguistic phenomena, along with the precise manner of audio/speech conversion.
