>
> MANCHESTER, VT - November, 2001. - Ai Squared, the worldwide leader in
> computer access solutions for the visually impaired, today announced two
> upcoming releases of ZoomText® - Ai Squared's award-winning magnification
> and screen reading software.  ZoomText magnifies and speaks the contents
> of the screen, making computers accessible and friendly to low-vision
> users.
>
> Later this month, Ai Squared will release ZoomText 7.1, featuring support
> for Windows XP, the latest operating system from Microsoft.  In addition
> to enhanced reliability, security and performance, Windows XP offers an
> exciting new look and feel to the PC experience.  With ZoomText 7.1,
> low-vision users can enjoy all the new benefits of XP, while using the
> same high quality magnification and screen reading they've grown accustom
> to.  ZoomText 7.1 continues our commitment of CompatibilityOne - support
> for all Windows operating systems in a single package.  CompatibilityOne
> saves the end user an enormous amount of time, money and effort,
> alleviating the need to purchase and install new accessibility software
> when migrating to a new operating system.
>
> "Ai Squared and Microsoft have been working together to ensure that
> low-vision computer users have the appropriate tools to take full
> advantage of Windows XP", said Ben Weiss, President of Ai Squared. "We are
> committed to delivering the best computer access solutions for all Windows
> operating systems."
>
> In early 2002, Ai Squared will release the highly anticipated ZoomText
> 8.0, offering computer access that's faster, friendlier and far more
> productive.  New magnification technology provides dramatic improvements
> in the enlargement of text.  At all magnification levels, characters are
> clearer, contrast is sharper and navigation is easier to follow.  The
> ZoomText 8.0 screen reader provides full narration of program activity and
> user input, comprehensive reading commands, complete configurability and
> ease of use.  Specialized support for Internet Explorer and Microsoft
> Office will allow users to easily navigate and read web pages and
> documents - always in the correct reading order. ZoomText 8.0 also
> features CompatibilityOne, providing support for Windows XP, Windows ME
> (Millennium Edition), Windows 2000, NT 4.0 and Windows 98.
>
> Low-cost upgrades to ZoomText 7.1 and ZoomText 8.0 will be offered to all
> registered users.  Alternatively, a new annual subscription plan can be
> purchased, which includes all upgrades and maintenance releases during the
> subscription period.  For more information, contact Ai Squared sales
> department.
