Ai Squared launches sitecues, a SaaS solution that builds zoom & speech
on websites
sitecues makes the Internet more accessible and usable for millions
MANCHESTER, Vermont – January 27, 2014 –Ai Squared, the makers of ZoomText,
the world’s #1 low vision access software, announces sitecues, an assistive technology
that builds magnification and reading capabilities right into websites.
sitecues by Ai Squared is a turnkey SaaS (Software as a Service) solution that is easily
integrated into existing websites. With a very simple implementation, website owners
can make their sites easier to read, hear and consume content thus making their sites
more inclusive and enjoyable to visit.
People vary greatly, but the web is currently delivered as though one size fits all. With
sitecues, website owners can better serve boomers, seniors and individuals with age
related diminished vision, severe low vision and other visual and print difficulties. This
demographic with gradual sensory loss exceeds 100M in the US alone and has an
online purchasing power that exceeds $150 billion (according to Forrester).
Corporations, organizations, federal and local governments and associations will be able
to reach and engage this audience, resulting in more page views, decreased
abandonment rates and ultimately higher customer loyalty.
In announcing sitecues, company CEO David Wu commented, “From a user’s point of
view, sitecues is an intuitive means of displaying and reading information, that allows
users to better concentrate on parts of web pages that interest them. The user
experience is optimized so that website owners can reach and retain not only those with
visual challenges but also the aging population and those with language and learning
challenges.”
sitecues Vice President of Engineering Thom Kenney says “From the website owner’s
perspective, sitecues offers simple, fast integration, with no heavy lifting needed to
install. Activating sitecues is done with exactly one line of JavaScript per web page.”
sitecues will be unveiled for commercial availability and demonstrated at the ATIA
conference in Orlando Florida from January 29th to 31st, 2014.
