ALVA to Cease Development of outSPOKEN for Macintosh and inLARGE for
Macintosh
Oakland, Calif. - June 10, 2003 - ALVA B.V., a leading provider of
assistive information technology for the blind and visually-impaired,
today announced that it will no longer develop outSPOKEN or inLARGE,
ALVA's screen reader and screen enlarger for Macintosh computers.
"ALVA is very committed to assistive technology and we're proud we
helped raise the performance and feature bar with these Macintosh
products," said Eric Weldink, president and CEO of ALVA. "The market
has changed, however, and our resources are best directed towards
producing stand-alone products with dedicated user interfaces tailored
to the needs of our customers - blind and low-vision IT and personal
technology users. The ALVA MPO or Mobile Phone Organizer is an example
of our targeted efforts. With its customized interface and
applications, this integrated cell phone and personal organizer will
reach the broadest customer group we've ever served."
outSPOKEN for Macintosh 9.2 and inLARGE for Macintosh 2.1 will be
available for the remainder of the year and all warranties and
documented service agreements will be honored.
