> The LIFT Text Transcoder uses unique "assistive annotations"
> and "assistive
> previews" that give the web site creator control over how content is
> delivered and allow the assistive user to control how the content is
> received.

> Already implemented last month by 20 leading organizations
> around the world,
> including Penn State University, the Church of Ireland and LifeScan
> (division of Johnson and Johnson), this solution is being
> used to provide
> the following key benefits:
>
> - Removes the need to create and maintain text-only sites
> - Allows the visitor to customize content to suite their needs
> - Improves the usability of content coded for W3C or Section
> 508 compliance
> - Eliminates inaccessible obstacles from content
> - Solves many accessibility issues while supporting PDAs
