Tools
for Accessible Media –
eClipseWare™ IRTI software products contain all the technology you need to effortlessly produce, read, and distribute digital talking books from virtually any electronic document. You can create your own from scratch too, if you would like. Our production tools include support for the latest talking book standards including: DAISY / NISO 2005 text and audio books and NIMAS format output, the National Instruction Material Accessibility Standard. IRTI software products have been designed for real people, not just scientist or technologists. And, our applications are also completely accessible so everyone can use them – sighted or not. Think about the people in your world, in your life that are lost in the world of print. Make it their oyster… Finally there are affordable tools for the production, reading and web delivery of accessible media to help anyone who struggles to read printed text. Innovative Rehabilitation Technology was founded in 1979 with the goal of making technology both affordable and accessible to individuals with a vision or print disability. We designed the eclipse family of software products to further this mission. Whether you want to read or just write DAISY talking book files, or even become a full-featured accessible media publisher—IRTI has the right tools to do the job easily and cost effectively. Accessible Media Tools you can
Use! At IRTI we have the philosophy that you do not need to understand what makes the car run before you ride in it---so we do not weigh you down with a steep learning curve and overly technical process before you can make accessible media. eClipse series software applications take the mystery and frustration out of accessible media creation, playback and deployment. Our software products are extremely easy to use even though they produce some very sophisticated output.
We have priced
our applications affordably because we want everyone to be able to use them.
After all, if you cannot afford the tools that provide access, what
good are they really?
What
about Support? IRTI offers technical support via email and phone, staffed by the most knowledgeable accessible media experts in the industry today. Tutorials are also available in the DAISY format.
Training? Classes are available at our facility located in historic Grass Valley California in the beautiful Sierra Foothills in the heart of the gold country. We are an easy one hour drive from the Sacramento international airport and if you have some extra time you can work in that Lake Tahoe ski trip you always wanted to do, which is only one hour away. If you can't come to us, give us a call and we will come to you. Need Help? IRTI can Work For You. Many companies and public service organizations want the output our tools create, but simply do not have the time or the staff, to put them into practice. That is why we have launched IRTI-AMPS (Accessible Media Production Services.) AMPS is a new arm of our 27 year
old company that takes your electronic or printed documents and turns them
into finished accessible media ready for your clients or we can provide them
to you in NIMAS format. If
you would like, we will even post and host your content on a personalized
accessible web site customize to your organizations needs.
Your intended audience can access your content with zero cost and
impact on your operation.
We Make It Easy For You Tens of millions of Americans struggle to read printed materials for a variety of reasons ranging from medical-physical to educational and cultural factors. IRTI-AMPS will produce accessible audio versions of your print materials so that everyone you need to reach may read and understand them. With IRTI-AMPS you can focus on reaching your audience and not on learning technology you might only use a few times per year. We will work with you to produce the accessible materials you need and will help you decide what to produce if you are not sure. So whether it is an annual report, an employee handbook, a set of instruction manuals, educational courseware, or a product-marketing document, we can help you deliver it to all of your clients … not just those who can read printed text.
