Dolphin Computer Access Limited
Founded in 1986, Dolphin Computer Access has a simple goal: to create software products that allow visually impaired people to use mainstream information technology in its original form. Dolphin software is designed to work together with existing computer systems, providing access to a wide range of Windows programs through magnification, speech and Braille.

Using the same products as sighted people means individuals can retain their independence in education, industry and leisure.

At the same time it allows prudent businesses, schools, colleges and universities to benefit from the knowledge, ideas and expertise of people who might otherwise be excluded.

There is no new operating system to learn and no need for sighted assistance. Through the use of Dolphin's screen magnifiers, screen readers and Braille translators, users can operate word processors, spreadsheets, databases, the internet and more. Dolphin's product innovation and technical expertise means we keep pace with the rapid changes that take place in IT and are quick to respond to customer demand. From the company's inception in 1986, Dolphin was the first company to create a full range of access products for today's Microsoft operating platforms and has stayed ahead of the field ever since.

Portable solutions for the 21st Century
Dolphin’s latest range of portable and mobile solutions offer students the ability to walk up to any school computer and within seconds find their screen reader or screen magnifier running, and configured just the way they like it!

No longer do students have to rely on a dedicated school computer for their access software, using the Dolphin Pen, a small USB device, visually impaired students can carry their software with them to any compatible computer.

Brand new to the Dolphin mobile range is Smart Hal. Smart Hal enables your mobile phone to speak to you, so if you are blind or have low vision you can now have access to all the features that a Windows Smartphone has to offer. If the battery or signal strength is low, Smart Hal will let you know. And it will give you voicemail alerts, tell you about missed calls and speak out numbers as you dial. Smart Hal also opens up the wonderful world of text messaging. Please contact our sales team or visit the website for more information.

Inclusion and Independence
Whether in the office or the classroom, few of us work in isolation. The internet and email has put technology at the forefront of communication today. Dolphin’s award-winning software allows people to be included in this worldwide community, whatever their level of sight. From the classroom to shopping online, Dolphin software enables people who are blind or partially sighted to use computers independently.

Choice
Dolphin has many thousands of clients around the world from all walks of life. Business professionals, school pupils, university students, senior citizens, home users - computers are used by all kinds of people with different types of vision loss. With Dolphin’s wide product range, including the award winning Supernova, we can help you find the right product for you.

Access For All
Working with schools, universities, libraries and many successful businesses, as well as major software developers like Microsoft® and Citrix®, Dolphin software products allow the full accessibility of computer systems for all operators irrespective of their level of sight. This ensures all organisations have the means to provide an inclusive access policy as well as complying with disability legislation in the UK, Europe and the U.S.A

"Microsoft is committed to working closely with leading accessibility aid developers like Dolphin Computer Access to improve screen access for people with visual disabilities. Thanks to accessible technology like Dolphin's Supernova software, there is every opportunity for people who are blind or low vision to harness the full power of the Windows operating system."
Ellen Mosner, Accessibility Product Manager,

Accessible Technology Group, Microsoft.
