Tenacity Announces Enhanced Accessibility and Usability of Tadiran Coral for Section 508 Compliance

Lafayette, LA, May 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Tenacity announces that accessaphone™ 3.0 and accessaphone ipTTY™ 2.0 are certified with the Tadiran Coral Platform offering compliance with Section 508 to users who deploy the system. Moreover, Tenacity’s applications that enhance the accessibility and usability of Tadiran phone systems are available through the Tenacity Accessibility Resolution program on the Tadiran GSA Schedule.

Tenacity, an effective leader within the field of accessible telephony, provide a comprehensive list of Section 508 compliant communication interface options to control Tadiran Phones as well as provide both legacy and modern forms of text communication throughout the Tadiran Infrastructure. Tenacity’s Microsoft Windows® compatible applications, include, but are not limited to, accessaphone™ and accessaphone™ ipTTY.

Users with desk phones registered to Tadiran Coral and the accessaphone™ software application engineered by Tenacity Operating, L.L.C. (Tenacity), now have knowledge of the status of the phone through audible notifications.

accessaphone™ with integrated text-to-speech providing audible notification based off of the status of the Tadiran phone, can be controlled via the keyboard only, mouse and keyboard and/or speech recognition controls for individuals who are blind / low vision / mobility impaired. Employees who prefer to use another screen reader may use accessaphone’s text-to-speech for audible caller ID only. accessaphone™ is an enhanced interface for the Tadiran Phones and does not replace the Tadiran desk phone. The newly enhanced accessaphone now enables accessible and usable features including –

Audible Caller ID
Conference
Hold and Unhold
Audible Who’s on Hold
I-Divert (Do Not Disturb)
Park (Directed) and Unpark
Call Forwarding
Redial
2 Step Transfer
Call Waiting / Answer Call
Window Dialing Rules
Dial from Dial Box, Call Log, Speed Dials and/or Address Book
DTMF tones

accessaphone™ ipTTY with TTY compatibility, real time text and audio for individuals who are deaf / hard of hearing. ipTTY helps businesses save money because end users are afforded the opportunity to communicate via TTY using the existing Tadiran infrastructure without the need for additional analog lines, modems, or other equipment and barriers traditionally associated with TTY communications. The application communicates through IP and uses standard session initiation protocol (SIP) registered as a third-party SIP endpoint on Tadiran Coral Platform. This soft client enables virtually every user on the telephony network to communicate with customer TTY machines, without the need for text relay service. Additionally ipTTY supports audio and real-time-text via RFC 4103; the future in real time text communication.

Accessibility Resolution Program allows Tadiran customers to bring the telephony access ramp to the building versus to each employees office by offering enterprise licensing creating a single, entity-wide solution, with each individual’s unique needs matched by accessaphone™ built-in product/feature options.

All accessaphone™ applications incorporate intuitive hotkeys to support individuals with cognitive impairments as well as alternative input devices for people with mobility impairments. For the organization, enterprise licensing creates a single, entity-wide solution, with each individual’s unique assistive technology (AT) needs matched by accessaphone™ built-in product/feature options.
