Funding has been awarded to a number of technology innovators from around the UK to enable them to explore life changing assistive technologies. The funding has come from two competitions sponsored by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and managed by JISC TechDis, a leading UK advisory service on technology and inclusion.
Two new services launched: the TechDis Voices for use with text-to-speech and the TechDis Toolbox helping learners gain employment skills.
