– An assistance software browser extension that enables employees and students to adapt online content and systems in a way that best suits their individual needs.
“Eye-Able’s unique suite of software solutions were developed after years of research, interviews and analysis of challenges faced by people with varying disabilities. We are committed to expanding on and advancing this work with SoftwareONE in the United States,” said Oliver Greiner, CEO of Eye-Able. “SoftwareONE’s like-minded commitment to human rights through technology makes the partnership a natural fit, and we look forward to working together to advance digital accessibility in the education sector and beyond.”
