Infowalker 2.0, released today, is a unique, free browser companion for Internet Explorer, which instantly analyzes web pages and dynamically illustrates, translates, and reads them aloud, displays them in large-type, and links directly to on-line catalogues.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 7, 2004 -- Naturally Open announced today the release of v2.0 of its innovative browser companion "Infowalker."

Bob Myers, CEO of Naturally Open, stated: "Our focus with Infowalker 2.0 was to bring the benefits of our technologies to children, foreign-language speakers, and the visually impaired. Kids will love Infowalker's ability to dynamically illustrate any sentence on any web page. It's a great learning tool for them, letting them see what they're reading about. Our real-time translation capability lets English-speakers easily read foreign language web sites and vice versa. For the visually impaired, we've added large-type display and text-to-speech capabilities. To make sure absolutely everyone can benefit from Infowalker, we've made it completely free."

Infowalker 2.0 works seamlessly in conjunction with Internet Explorer. The user browses exactly as he or she always has, but with Infowalker's features available at the click of the mouse.

Cognitive psychologists who reviewed Infowalker say that its approach of coupling graphics, large-type display, pictures, and speech with the web page's text is one proven to enhance learning and retention.

Infowalker is completely free and is downloadable from http://www.naturallyopen.com/infowalker. In addition, Naturally Open will provide customized OEM versions to web publishers and content providers who wish to take advantage of this new vehicle for piping information to the end-user.
