Vispero, a provider of assistive technology products for the blind and low-vision community and provider of JAWS, a screen reader, has introduced JAWS for Kiosk for Android systems, according to a press release. This marks the only screen reader specifically designed to support Android kiosks.

JAWS for Kiosk features a self-service text-to-speech audio output that allows blind or low-vision users to perform tasks easily and independently, such as ordering at a quick service restaurant, voting in an election, filling out confidential information at a medical office and interacting with other kiosk or tablet-based applications.

Previously available exclusively on Microsoft Windows form factors, JAWS for Kiosk is now compatible with the Android platform, allowing it to be deployed on an even greater number of self-service kiosks systems.

Traci Murray, who recently joined the Vispero team as director of business development, will lead the JAWS for Kiosk Android initiative.
