ANNOUNCING{SCREEN READER/2 VERSION 1.1}
September 2, 1993
IBM Special Needs Systems announces the availability of Screen
Reader/2 Version 1.1 for OS/2 Version 2.1. Screen Reader/2 enables
blind and visually impaired computer users to access multiple
operating system environments and graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
Screen Reader/2 is the first system to offer access to three
operating environments: OS/2 Version 2.1; Windows Version 3.1; and DOS.
Screen Reader/2 includes the following features:
o SWITCH LIST
Use the Screen Reader/2 Switch List as a "fast path" for accessing
your applications. This feature is comparable to locating an
application visually and then clicking on it to bring it
to the foreground - using the keypad instead of a mouse.
o AUTOMATIC READING
Move your focus to an application and Screen Reader/2 will
announce its title automatically. Move a selector to a menu item
and you'll hear it. You'll even hear pushbuttons, radio buttons,
spin buttons, and other controls described. This works in both
OS/2 Presentation Manager and Windows applications.
o PROFILES FOR POPULAR APPLICATIONS
Choose from over 35 applications and Screen Reader/2 will
automatically select a profile to optimize your work.
Screen Reader/2 includes profiles for OS/2 (e.g. OS/2 applets,
BookManager Read/2, Communication Manager, DeScribe), Windows
(e.g. Quicken 2, Word, WordPerfect, and WordScan Plus), and
DOS (e.g. Lotus 1-2-3, Quicken, WordPerfect 5.1)
o MULTIPLE SERIAL DEVICE SUPPORT
Attach any of the many popular speech synthesizers for voice
output or refreshable braille devices for tactile input and
output - or achieve multi-sensory access by using BOTH.
o ICON RECOGNITION
Hear icons announced as you select them - true GUI access.
o MOUSE SIMULATION
Simulate the actions of a mouse - single and double-click on
either mouse button - using the Screen Reader/2 keypad.
o OS/2 2.1 DISPLAY DRIVER SUPPORT
All graphics adapters supported in the OS/2 2.1 GA release are
also supported by Screen Reader/2. Plus all the features and
functions of Screen Reader/DOS:
Reading by line, word, paragraph, screen, etc.
Echoing keystrokes, words or lines
Autospeak
