At the same time, the evaluator can determine if the access software and hardware are compatible with client's current system. Training for specialized software and equipment, including voice recognition, is offered as well.

TransAccess can bring and demonstrate access technology to employers, educators and individuals with disabilities as well as provide on-site accessibility surveys of your facility.
