Viewplus to Incorporate TTS from Wizzard Software in New Chameleon Product Line
ViewPlus has selected Wizzard Software's text-to-speech technology for inclusion in their new Chameleon product line.
Chameleon offers a way for the visually impaired to interact directly with graphical information using a proprietary touch pad and software. Instead of requiring sighted assistants to alter information and images to accommodate Braille labeling, visually impaired computer users can simply "print" an image and using Chameleon, touch areas of the graphic and while feeling the "visual" information, have text and other characteristics read out-loud through computer generated speech. The end users of ViewPlus products are mainly blind students in the K-12 and College/University level but the Company also serves a growing population of corporate and government clients with visually impaired employees. There are approximately 93,600 visually impaired or blind students and at least 1.5 million blind and visually impaired Americans using computers today.
