What we do is work on broadcast innovation. You might say what would be broadcast innovation for

0:00:31.940,0:00:36.741
accessibility purposes and I would say, for example, radio for the deaf.

0:00:36.741,0:00:42.454
That's a project that we've been working on here at our booth for the last 2-3 years.

0:00:42.454,0:00:50.579
With folks like Gallaudet, the Hearing Loss Association of America.

0:00:50.579,0:00:51.579
And once we've created a mock-up of how to produce captions for radio,

0:00:51.579,0:01:00.218
then the folks at the Helen Keller national center said can you convert it into braille for the deaf/blind. So we showed how to do that as well.

0:01:00.218,0:01:05.102
And then it was a matter of can you now add emergency alerting features that will run through

0:01:05.102,0:01:13.813
the local public radio station. We've now got a project that we'll begin testing and showing how we can do that this summer in the gulf states.

0:01:13.813,0:01:20.046
Latino USA became our first regular program that's going to carry captions each and every week hereafter.

0:01:20.046,0:01:32.437
So you can go and view them online at their website: futuromediagroup.org and look for the links to Latino USA and their caption radio program.

0:01:32.437,0:01:38.088
And you can follow the work we do at NPR labs at: nprlabs.org.

0:01:38.088,0:01:43.621
Humanware is involved in a few areas of assistive technology. We have kind of have three focuses:

0:01:43.621,0:01:48.253
we have blindness products, speech and braille products, DAISY players.

0:01:48.253,0:01:54.520
And we have the low vision side of the business which is magnification of course. Video magnifiers.

0:01:54.520,0:02:00.488
And some learning disability products too. Some book reading and comprehension products.

0:02:00.488,0:02:09.320
We manufacture braille embossers that vary all the way to the very basic to high end high production embossers.

0:02:09.320,0:02:13.756
We also have a touch pad that we call IVEO.

0:02:13.756,0:02:19.623
We also distribute products like voice eye and a product from independent science which is a talking mapquest.

0:02:19.623,0:02:24.887
We're the industry leaders in tactile graphics and we work very hard to support all the assistive

0:02:24.887,0:02:28.606
technology needs for anybody around the world.

0:02:39.934,0:02:48.502
Today we're here talking about Windows 8 and our new surface tablet and some of the improvements we've made for accessibility in Windows 8.

0:02:48.502,0:02:59.438
So our magnifier and our onscreen narrator for hearing the computer in text speech in a touch environment.

0:02:59.438,0:03:05.804
So you have a tablet, you don't have a keyboard, how do you actually use these devices when you can't seem them very well.

0:03:05.804,0:03:11.244
So our magnifier and our narrator have been enhanced so you can use them with touch.

0:03:11.244,0:03:19.681
Our approach to consumer research is to actually include people with disabilities in the broader user research we do.

0:03:19.681,0:03:29.103
So several months, probably a year or so, leading into the release of Windows, we will work with consumers. We have beta testing phases.

0:03:29.103,0:03:38.384
We do usability studies and tests and all of those include specific feedback from people with disabilities. Of all types of disabilities.

0:03:56.074,0:04:05.349
Hamilton relay services the deaf, the hard of hearing, people who have difficulty speaking or being understood on the telephone, as well as people

0:04:05.387,0:04:11.920
who have combined hearing loss with vision loss. Today at our booth, we are showing all of our different services that are available.

0:04:11.920,0:04:18.952
For example, we have the California relay service, which is an awesome service for people who are completely deaf.

0:04:18.952,0:04:28.586
For people with speech difficulties, we have a service called speech to speech which is amazing for people who are struggling to be understood on the phone.

0:04:28.586,0:04:35.720
We also have visually assisted speech to speech which adds a visual component to our already existing speech to speech service.

0:04:35.720,0:04:44.621
We also have Hamilton CapTell, which is a great service for people who are hard of hearing, finding it hard to understand what's being said

0:04:44.621,0:04:49.852
on the phone, where they can listen to what the person says, and read captions of the call.

0:04:49.852,0:04:56.185
So we have many different solutions for people from one extreme to the next and we'd love to share more information with you.

0:04:56.185,0:05:08.601
We sell aids to people so they can live independently on their own. Things as far as talking watches, braille watches, talking clocks,

0:05:08.601,0:05:18.608
magnifiers, a lot of braille products, a lot of teaching products for small children. We have braille blocks.

0:05:18.608,0:05:25.345
And just things to make life a little easier to live on their own so they don't have to depend on other people.

0:05:25.345,0:05:32.617
For the past 10 years, we have served as experts in the field of accessibility for the federal government.

0:05:32.617,0:05:36.777
We offer electronic documents, such as PDF remediation, we offer website development,

0:05:36.777,0:05:40.443
web application development, assessments and remediations there as well.

0:05:40.443,0:05:48.937
We also offer full online training courses and classroom training courses as well for developers and content managers and the like.
