Serotek Releases Accessible Event



Serotek Corporation (www.serotek.com), the leading provider of internet and digital information accessibility software and services, released Accessible Event (www.accessibleevent.com)'s8482; in a press conference today at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The accessible, online platform makes group meetings, webinars, lectures and other events accessible to the blind, deaf and blind/deaf. Attendees who do not require assistive technology participate as they normally would; unaware that Accessible Event is running. No installation is required so no trace of use is left on any computer or device.



Accessible Event is ADA compliant (Americans with Disabilities Act) and is available to corporations, schools, and public entertainment forums, as well as online tradeshow and special event sponsors and other organizations. It can be purchased per-incident, on a monthly or annual basis, or as an enterprise server configuration and requires only an internet connection and Adobe Flash to function.



Whether across the room or across the world, nearly anything a presenter can put on a screen, from documents to web sites, is now accessible to everyone, including those with sight and/or hearing impairments regardless of whether you are presenting to ten or ten thousand, said Mike Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation.



Much like a conference bridge, presenters set up an event and a meeting code is provided to invited participants. Attendees who prefer assistive technology simply visit the Accessible Event web site from the browser of any computer or portable device, enter the meeting code, and the meeting becomes instantly accessible.



Accessible Event is a perfect example of how the digital lifestyle can be accessible, said Dan Hubbell, Technical Evangelist for Microsoft Corporation, When used alongside services like Microsoft's174; LiveMeeting, Accessible Event broadens an organization'ss reach and inclusion efforts with minimal cost or effort.



Accessible Event works with presentations designed in the Microsoft 's174; Word's8482;, Excel's174;, and PowerPoint's174; or Adobe's174; Acrobat's174;, with those featuring displays in Microsoft Outlook's174;, or web pages in Serotek SAMNet's8482;, Microsoft Internet Explorer's174; 7 or higher, or Mozilla's174; Firefox's174;, and with online meeting services such as Cisco WebEx, Citrix's174; GoToMeeting's174; and GoToWebinar's174;, Adobe Acrobat Connect's174;, Microsoft LiveMeeting, and more.



Presenters determine the date of expiration so events can remain available or limited to a specific timeframe. Accessible Event can run beside any online meeting or webinar service. At the end of the session, a pop-up exit option will notify the host to close the session.


    


For the first time in history, blind and deaf people can be fully included in online events, said Calvo. And students can bring Accessible Event codes on a thumb drive to their professors so lectures of any kind are fully accessible for the day or the semester.
