Dear anneAnne,
Povidi Releases "My Accessible Google", Non-Visual Access to Google's
Calendar Application!
Date: Tuesday, May 17, 2011
For Immediate Release: Povidi Releases "My Accessible Google", Non-Visual
Access to Google's Calendar application!! - Christchurch, New Zealand -
Cleveland, OH USA - PR Web
Today, Povidi LTD announced that for the first time users who are visually
impaired will now be able to access Google's Calendar Application. Up
until now, this robust, online means of organizing one's calendar has been
virtually inaccessible to persons who are blind or visually impaired. But
no longer thanks to the development efforts of Povidi, a New Zealand-based
development firm committed to providing orientation and navigation
solutions as well as intuitive access to otherwise relatively inaccessible
web-based applications by persons who are blind or visually impaired.
Povidi has created a user interface to Google's Calendar Application that
can be freely utilized by visiting http://www.povidi.com/mag/. Users must
first have a Google account; once they sign in and grant this application
access to their Google calendar, users may create, store, and review
appointments in the same manner as their sighted peers. Povidi was able to
accomplish this milestone in the wake of a tragic earthquake that has
decimated Christchurch.
"We're delighted with this breakthrough," stated Darryl Sherwood, founder
of Povidi. "We're seeing a trend whereby vision impaired computer users
are expected to manage and access information in a similar fashion to
their sighted peers, and we're keen to explore ways to give them the tools
they need to accomplish the tasks they are expected to independently
complete."
Flying Blind, LLC is a strategic partner and minority shareholder in
Povidi. "I'm ecstatic about the work that Darryl and his team have
completed on the Google Calendar," stated Larry Lewis, President of Flying
Blind, LLC. "It's a tremendous follow-up effort to Povidi's access on the
YouTube front, and I'm confident that we'll find ways to bring Povidi's
problem solving skills to a number of other inaccessible applications on
the web as well."
The staff at Povidi and Flying Blind, LLC are encouraging all of their
customers to give "My Accessible Google" a try and to provide their
feedback. For more information about "My Accessible Google", please
