FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
iZotope Expands Support to Accessibility Software

Music Technology Leader’s Products Will Now Support Screen Reader Software
NAMM, Booth 6920, Anaheim, CA - January 14, 2010 – iZotope, Inc. has announced the
scheduled release of  product updates to support accessibility software for the visually
impaired. Available for download by the end of Q1 2010, the updates will significantly
expand the information made available to accessibility software interfacing with
their programs. This endeavor is closely related to iZotope’s 2010 Education Initiative.
The Initiative will support music education by donating software to classrooms around
the world. iZotope has made supporting the community a top priority for the upcoming
year.

”iZotope software has become an industry standard, and that means it’s time to commit
to universal access,” says CTO Jeremy Todd. “We plan to do this with the help of
the visually impaired community itself, so we invite users of screen readers to contact
us for more information or to get involved.”

The forthcoming product updates will allow commonly used screen reader programs to
work with iZotope’s software on both Mac and PC platforms. iZotope also noted that
this support is a long term commitment and will be incorporated into all subsequent
releases of products and updates.

Users interested in testing the accessibility updates may contact
support at izotope.com for more information. Advance copies of the updates will be
available upon request.
