TUCSON, Ariz. and BOSTON, Nov. 21,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioEye®, Inc. (OTCQB: AEYE)
("AudioEye") ("the Company"), today announced that its patented Web
A11y Management Platform technology has been launched at
www.wheelock.edu, the official website of Wheelock College in Boston, Massachusetts, which serves both
graduate and undergraduate students. Wheelock College also
offers Online education that allows students to attend class from
anywhere with an Internet connection.
"In keeping with Wheelock's mission,
the college is improving website accessibility for all people who
are interested in improving the lives of children and families,"
stated Paul Hastings, Associate Dean
of Student Success. "Now, more than ever, Wheelock is a front runner in providing greater
access to people who need it most, from users who are blind or
visually impaired to those with hearing or mobility issues."
"Wheelock College has set a great
example of how private institutions of higher learning can fully
comply with the ADA mandates," observed Nathaniel Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of
AudioEye, Inc. "There are approximately 1,600 private colleges in
the United States, and our
Audio Internet solution can ensure ADA compliance and
expanded reach for all of them, with Wheelock
College leading the way."
Once activated, a simple click on an icon or tapping of the
space bar will convert a website page to accommodate such
disabilities as blindness, partial vision loss, color perception
deficiencies, deafness, partial loss of hearing, mobility or manual
dexterity problems, cognitive conditions such as dyslexia, and
other impaired senses. AudioEye provides tools unique to each
impairment, creating an all-encompassing accessibility solution
based on a single platform. The Web A11y Management
Platform represents a powerful solution for Internet users
with complete vision loss, those with low sight impairments, users
that are hard of hearing or that are just learning to read.
Accessibility enhancements to AudioEye's technology platform are
numerous and have the ability to allow users to control the level
of quality of the audio, enlarge the cursor display, and highlight
in real time, thereby vastly improving user retention, font size
and other characteristics that influence that value of the Internet
for those with disabilities.
Wheelock Family Theatre's website
(www.wheelockfamilytheatre.org) will also benefit from AudioEye's
technology. Since 1981, the Theatre has been committed to
inclusionary practices by providing performance opportunities to
artists with disabilities; audience enhancements for patrons who

"Wheelock Family Theatre has been instrumental in introducing
accessibility practices to Boston
area theatres, and moving forward with new technologies, including
a website that is truly accessible, broadens our reach and is part
of our fundamental mission to offer professional, accessible
theatre for all families and children," said Charles G. Baldwin, Director of Marketing and
Operations for the Wheelock Family Theatre.
