Code Factory, developers of software solutions for the blind and the

Blind and visually impaired users will be able to access and enjoy their
devices within a suite of accessible apps  for the most common wireless
tasks. Along with basic functionality of calling and contacts management,
users will have access to emails, web browsing and messaging.

Code Factory CEO Eduard Sánchez explains: “We are very excited to see that
Microsoft has decided to count on our input and knowledge of the field of
accessibility for the blind and visually impaired, based on 10 years of
experience developing accessibility services for mobile devices.  Combining
Code Factory’s expertise in mobile accessibility with Microsoft’s uniquely
personal smartphone to enable Mobile Accessibility for Windows Phone 8 has
been a very enriching experience.“

Phone developer ecosystem.  Code Factory has done an incredible job of
bringing their Mobile Accessibility experience to Windows Phone,” said

choice for us to work with.  We are delighted that Mobile Accessibility,
with its suite of apps designed to make Windows Phone easier to see, hear,
