Ai Squared Releases ZoomText USB
Provides Universal Access for Vision Impaired Computer Users
Manchester, VT, December 5, 2007: Ai Squared, a worldwide leader in computer access solutions, is proud to announce the release of ZoomText® USB, the newest product in the ZoomText family. ZoomText USB lets vision impaired computer users carry the popular screen magnification/screen reading program anywhere they go, allowing for installation and use at any time. ZoomText makes computers accessible and friendly to low vision users by magnifying and speaking what appears on the screen, and the USB edition provides access to this valuable software on any computer.
ZoomText USB delivers ZoomText on a USB memory drive that conveniently fits in your pocket or around your neck on the included lanyard. With ZoomText USB, you can install and run ZoomText wherever and whenever you need to (with administrator's approval), without having to purchase additional licensing or worry about activating each installation.
Its design allows you to plug in the USB drive and, if ZoomText has already been installed on the system, immediately use the software. If ZoomText hasn't been installed, a low vision friendly setup program launches for a quick installation - you're up and running in minutes. Your settings are conveniently saved back to the USB drive and load automatically each time you plug in the USB drive.
"Computers have become increasingly ever-present in our lives, and so has our need to access and use them wherever we go", said Walter Elliott, President of Ai Squared. "This need for public computer access is no different for visually impaired ZoomText users. For those who are unable to use computers without ZoomText, ZoomText USB is the solution to universal access."
ZoomText USB supports Windows Vista, XP, and Windows 2000 and is available in 18 languages: Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, US English and UK English.
New copies of ZoomText USB are $495 for Magnifier and $695 for Magnifier/Reader. Low cost upgrades to the USB edition are available to all registered users of ZoomText. Upgrades from previous versions of ZoomText start at $100.
