FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


iZotope Expands Support to Accessibility Software
Music Technology Leader’s Products Will Now Support Screen Reader Software



NAMM, Booth 6920, Anaheim, CA - January 14, 2010 – iZotope, Inc. has
announced the scheduled release of  product updates to support
accessibility software for the visually impaired. Available for
download by the end of Q1 2010, the updates will significantly expand
the information made available to accessibility software interfacing
with their programs. This endeavor is closely related to iZotope’s
2010 Education Initiative.  The Initiative will support music
education by donating software to classrooms around the world. iZotope
has made supporting the community a top priority for the upcoming
year.

”iZotope software has become an industry standard, and that means it’s
time to commit to universal access,” says CTO Jeremy Todd. “We plan to
do this with the help of the visually impaired community itself, so we
invite users of screen readers to contact us for more information or
to get involved.”

The forthcoming product updates will allow commonly used screen reader
programs to work with iZotope’s software on both Mac and PC platforms.
iZotope also noted that this support is a long term commitment and
will be incorporated into all subsequent releases of products and
updates.

Users interested in testing the accessibility updates may contact
support at izotope.com for more information. Advance copies of the
updates will be available upon request.
