JAWS for Kiosk Software by TPGi, a Vispero Company

Penn State has partnered with TPGi®, a Vispero® company and global leader in accessibility software and services, to assist in providing students and faculty with more accessible food service kiosks. Recognizing that screen readers needed to be implemented into its current kiosk system, Penn State chose the accessibility experts at TPGi and the JAWS® for Kiosk screen reader software after finding that other large-scale food service companies relied on the same solution and because of its compatibility with Penn State’s kiosk hardware. JAWS is a popular screen reader developed for users with vision loss. Industry-leading and award-winning JAWS for Kiosk is the only screen reader software designed for self-service experiences. In Penn State’s Accessibility Statement, the University says it is committed through its Policy AD69 to ensuring that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to their nondisabled peers to participate in the University’s programs, benefits, and services, including those delivered through electronic and information technology.
