iBlink Radio available in App Store




MINNEAPOLIS, Minn – October 9, 2009 – 
<http://www.serotek.com/>Serotek Corporation, the 
leading provider of internet and digital 
information accessibility software and services, 
introduced a third-party iPhone application today 
specifically designed for those who are blind or 
have low vision. Now available in the App Store, 
the application is called iBlink Radio™ and is 
the first such application to be introduced in the world.

iBlink Radio allows people to listen to podcasts, 
radio stations and reading services produced by and for the blind community.

The reading service section of iBlink Radio 
provides audio versions of newspapers, magazines 
and periodicals for anyone unable to read the 
printed page, regardless of disability. Daily 
newspapers include <http://www.usatoday.com/>USA 
Today, <http://www.wsj.com/>Wall Street Journal 
and the <http://www.nytimes.com/>New York Times.

Listeners can also access all known radio 
stations owned and operated by the blind, and the 
podcast section offers topics ranging from technology to cooking.

“The iPhone is a great platform for doing just 
about anything, whether it be learning something 
new or just jamming to some great tunes,” said 
Mike Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, “iBlink 
Radio represents all that and more; it marks 
another step toward inclusion for all.”

While the application offers a convenient way for 
the blind community to stay connected, the 
application is available to everyone, blind or 
sighted. In addition to being of great interest 
to those who are blind or have partial sight, 
iBlink Radio is also invaluable resource to 
family members, friends and professionals serving this community.
