><http://www.serotek.com>Serotek Corporation, the 
>leading provider of accessible, multi-platform 
>cloud-based solutions, is proud to announce the 
>availability of DocuScan Plus for the 
><http://www.apple.com>Apple (AAPL) Macintosh 
>platform. DocuScan Plus, released for the 
><http://www.microsoft.com/windows>Microsoft 
>Windows platform in November 2010, allows 
>individuals with a computer and attached imaging 
>device to scan and convert printed materials in 
>to text, and to store these documents in the 
>cloud for easy retrieval on either Operating 
>System from anywhere. The newly released Mac 
>application contains the same compelling 
>features as found in its wildly successful 
>Windows counterpart, including easy conversion 
>to daisy, Braille and MP3 formats, sending to 
><http://www.amazon.com/kindle>Amazon Kindle, 
>password protection options, and saving to a 
>local computer in large print or Rich Text 
>Format. DocuScan Plus represents the first fully 
>accessible cloud-based OCR solution to be available in the Mac app store.
>
>“When we designed DocuScan Plus for Windows 
>with cloud-based features, bringing it to the 
>Mac was the next logical step,” said Mike 
>Calvo, CEO. “People don’t use just one 
>computer, or even one operating system anymore, 
>and they need to access their information 
>regardless of which platform they’re using at 
>any given time.” “Apple has a host of 
>accessibility features already built in to the 
>operating system,” continued Calvo. “Because 
>of this, we were able to make an application 
>that is universally compelling in its own right, 
>regardless of whether you’re print-disabled, 
>and its accessible right out of the box to a very wide audience.”
>
>DocuScan Plus is designed with an easy and 
>intuitive interface, and works seamlessly with 
>Apple’s Voiceover screen reader and Zoom 
>magnifier. The application can be used in 
>conjunction with the wide variety of Braille 
>displays which are supported with Voiceover. The 
>$299 price for this service provides users the 
>ability to utilize DocuScan Plus on both the 
>Windows and Mac platforms without paying a 
>premium. This unique approach continues 
>Serotek’s philosophy of offering accessibility 
>anywhere at an affordable price, which is 
>unparalleled in the Assistive Technology Industry.
>
>The app is now 
><http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=432595763&mt=12>available 
>through the Mac app store, and you can learn
