Additional Detail for IVEO
IVEO builds accessible features into mainstream computer files and print materials
IVEO enhances information that is strictly visual to include sound and touch feedback
IVEO makes written materials more engaging and interactive
The IVEO Tactile-Audio system is perfect for professionals looking for easy and comprehensive methods to translate visual materials for those who are blind or low-vision.
IVEO is also designed to enable blind individuals to independently convert inaccessible visual documents to a format that can be read by touch and audio.
IVEO can also open doors for people with learning disabilities. When used with the Emprint Color Tactile Printer, IVEO documents can be read simultaneously through vision, audio and touch.
IVEO goes beyond the standard visual interface to a computer. Adding audio and touch makes delivery of information more complete - increasing retention and understanding. Plus, it makes materials more engaging.
IVEO is ideal for trading files. IVEO files are compact and can be read visually by standard web browsers like Internet Explorer and Netscape. That means there is no disturbance for visual-oriented people, yet the IVEO file can be totally accessible for people who need or prefer reading with the addition of audio and touch. Email or post on websites and those who seek audio or touch access can download the free IVEO Viewer to read the file in an interactive format.
With IVEO you can:
- Develop interactive teaching materials like talking maps, charts and
diagrams
Easily label sections of maps and other bitmap images with audio tags in IVEO Creator. Readers hear audio feedback when touching tactile printouts placed on the IVEO Touchpad or by clicking their mouse on images in IVEO Viewer. - Make Powerpoint & Visio into a tactile/audio/visual format
Automatically capture both visible text and hidden object labels in Powerpoint and Visio with IVEO Converter. No editing is required to instantly convert documents to accessible IVEO format. - Read and write PDF forms with universal accessibility
Send PDF forms to the IVEO Converter and it immediately adds audio and touch access. Use the zoom feature to navigate every detail of the document visually or by touch. IVEO's editing tools allow you to type your own text into forms. You can even sign completed forms using the IVEO Touchpad! - Make textbooks accessible through touch and audio
Scan books and printed materials you want to enhance. IVEO acquires images and recognizes text so little or no editing is required to create accessible files from paper documents. - Distill files instantly from Windows programs
Convert files automatically to IVEO from any Windows software that allows printing - just like using the Acrobat Distiller. - Scale documents to any size independently
Zoom in to expand crowded sections of documents and allow better perception visually and by touch. Scaling is controlled by the mouse or the IVEO Touchpad so anyone can explore images independently.
