Concord, NH — May
25, 2004 - HiSoftware, Inc. today
announced that Macromedia Government
will be bundling HiSoftware’s
Hi-Caption SE and AccRepair for
Macromedia Flash MX 2004 in the
Solution for Policy Compliant Web
sites. These HiSoftware solutions
provide developers worldwide with the
first comprehensive tools for managing
captioning and the accessibility of
their Flash projects, in complete
conformance with standards mandated by
Section 508 of the federal
government's Rehabilitation Act,
international accessibility guidelines
set forth by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), and other applicable
accessibility guidelines.
These
groundbreaking new solutions,
available from Macromedia and
HiSoftware, are inspired by
HiSoftware’s industry leading
high-performance Accessibility and
Content Quality Solutions. Hi-Caption
SE and AccRepair use the extensibility
support in Macromedia Flash MX 2004 to
provide testing, remediation, and
closed captioning directly within the
Flash authoring tool, marrying rich
multimedia development and
accessibility for the first time.
Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act Amendments mandates
that federal agencies ensure that all
electronic and information
technologies purchased, maintained or
developed meet the accessibility
standards established by the U.S.
Access Board. Although federally
mandated, state governments and
private organizations can also benefit
by adhering to these standards, which
enable access and usability by the
widest possible audience.
