Announced in San Francisco, CA, October 1, 2002
IBM and SeniorNet today announced the nationwide launch of a new
innovative technology that will make the Web more accessible by
allowing users to reformat Web pages according to their individual
user preferences. This technology allows users to improve their Web
experience by enhancing the readability of Web pages, making the
browser easier to use, reading text out loud, and even making the
keyboard easier to use. The initiative represents the next step in
SeniorNet and IBM's multi-year partnership to make the Web
accessible to more and more people.
