Code Factory for mobile accessibility

Code Factory, developers of software solutions 
for the blind and the visually impaired, has 
announced today that their Mobile Accessibility 
suite of apps will support Microsoft’s Windows 
Phone 8. Mobile Accessibility for Windows Phone 8 
will be offered free of charge in the Windows 
Phone Store. Blind and visually impaired users 
will be able to access and enjoy their devices 
within a suite of accessible apps  for the most 
common wireless tasks. Along with basic 
functionality of calling and contacts management, 
users will have access to emails, web browsing and messaging.

Code Factory CEO Eduard Sánchez explains: “We are 
very excited to see that Microsoft has decided to 
count on our input and knowledge of the field of 
accessibility for the blind and visually 
impaired, based on 10 years of experience 
developing accessibility services for mobile 
devices.  Combining Code Factory’s expertise in 
mobile accessibility with Microsoft’s uniquely 
personal smartphone to enable Mobile 
Accessibility for Windows Phone 8 has been a very enriching experience.“

“I am extremely excited to have Code Factory as

ecosystem.  Code Factory has done an incredible 
job of bringing their Mobile Accessibility 
experience to Windows Phone,” said Darren 
Laybourn, corporate vice president, Windows 
Phone, Microsoft Corp. “Code Factory’s history 
and expertise of developing products that 
eliminate barriers to accessibility in mobile 
technology made them the obvious first choice for 
us to work with.  We are delighted that Mobile 
Accessibility, with its suite of apps designed to 
make Windows Phone easier to see, hear, and use, 
is now available for Windows Phone 8 to address 
the needs of our blind and visually impaired customers.”
