----- Original Message ----- From: "Jill Thomas" <jill@ionsystems.com> To: "David Poehlman" <poehlman1@comcast.net> Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 11:41 PM Subject: Web Eyes is released We have released Web Eyes (tm). It is an IE browser plug in (722K) that can take any web site - whether it is tagged for accessibility usage or not - and reflow it so that it can be read at any font size (4 points - 144 points) as well as by Jaws and Window Eyes! To try it out, go to http://www.ionwebeyes.com. You can use it on any domain for 10 minutes regardless of if the domain has purchased Web Eyes or not. We sell Web Eyes to the domain owners as an annual license ($600 - $5,500 based on the number of pages in a domain) for unlimited downloads and unlimited reading time on all registered domains. If you try to read CNN.com with Jaws - it does an intelligible job. By accessing it via Web Eyes, it is 100% logical and usable. You can turn graphics and columns on and off. For screen readers, use a single column and a small font size for maximum usability. You need IE 5.5 or higher. When installed, Web Eyes is under the Tools menu. My husband is in DC this week demonstrating it to several government agencies. I think this will ROCK the accessibility community since sites who "haven't had time to add the necessary tags" will now be usable by them as well as normal sighted users. It is a win-win-win! Accessibility community can read the information, web sites designers can still have a formatted site and the corporate entities don't have to pay to have two sites designed and maintained. Sorry I couldn't give you a pre-release version - patent issues needed to be finalized first. I look forward to your response. -- Jill Thomas President, ION Systems, Inc. jill@ionsystems.com 636-937-9094 Fax 636-937-1828 107 Mississippi Ave., Crystal City, MO 63019 ***** www.ionsystems.com Your Bridge To Usability www.galaxylibrary.com Where Electronic And Print Worlds Converge ***** eMonocle (tm) an XML viewer for simultaneous use by sighted, low vision and, in the near future, blind readers.
