Who is Dolphin?

Dolphin has been creating software solutions for people with visual and print impairments since 1986.
Since we began, Dolphin products have enabled hundreds of thousands of customers to enjoy the same level of independence as their peers. Dolphin now exports to more than thirty countries, with offices in the UK, US and Sweden. Dolphin employs over sixty people worldwide to create and deliver the widest variety of software products for people with print and visual impairments.
Dolphin is a privately owned company and over one third of our annual gross revenue is re-invested in the design and development of our products.

"Microsoft is committed to working closely with leading accessibility aid developers like Dolphin Computer Access to improve screen access for people with visual disabilities. Thanks to accessible technology like Dolphin's Supernova software, there is every opportunity for people who are blind or low vision to harness the full power of the Windows operating system." Ellen Mosner, Accessibility Product Manager, Accessible Technology Group, Microsoft Corporation

What's so special about Dolphin?

Dolphin's roots are in assistive technology and we are proud to have developed one of the first commercial screen readers. Since those early days we have helped to shape the industry with innovations like:

• Supernova, the only combined magnification, speech and Braille software.
• The Dolphin Pen, to carry your Dolphin access software and plug into a USB slot in any PC.
• Pocket Hal, access software from Dolphin that works on a PDA.

"The RNIB have been pleased to support the work of Dolphin over the years, a British company who are enabling visually impaired people to succeed through the changing needs of education and employment. Dolphin is able to offer compatible products for magnification, speech and Braille users on all of the major Microsoft operating systems, making it much easier for employers, schools and universities to provide an accessible IT system which caters for different needs." Richard Orme, Head of Technology in Learning and Employment, Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB)

Our alt format division is dedicated to making text accessible in a way that is meaningful to people with visual and print impairments. Dolphin has been at the core of DAISY (Digital Accessible Information Systems) development since the DAISY standard was conceived back in 1996. We developed the first software to make DAISY a reality. Since then our tools, which include production tools to create DAISY books and reading tools to play them back, are leading the way to new frontiers of accessibility for anyone who is either visually or print impaired.

"Because Dolphin solutions are so simple to understand it makes it easy to train our operators, and this is enabling us to update our library book archives very effectively." Stefan Grimmeisen from Blista, Germany
