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/
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=nk4jr4bab&et=1105564939561&s=3682&e=001l-i9Vc

vrN4UDxFo_lsuv8FyXL9bS-sStJceQ_R-mLA==> . 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 contact:
