The best hardware device requires the best software partner, and Optelecs found such a partner in Dolphin Computer Access", stated Larry Lewis, Optelecs Vice President of Blindness Sales. The Voyager series with Supernova Version 6 is the perfect combination for all market segments. We wanted to create a stellar package that would be robust, stable, reliable and useful—offering incomparable functionality with the best financial deal for the customer. Supernova is the only software to date that allows users to select between a screen reader, a screen magnifier and Braille output in a single installation. Supernova 6.0 gives to those of us who are blind a superior alternative to any other screenreader currently on the market. This software combined with our Voyager Braille display means that blind computer users now have more intuitive options for accessing and controlling their PCs through a Braille display with industry standard Windows functionality effortlessly and efficiently."

Dan Moore, Vice President of Sales for Dolphin, said, This is an excellent opportunity for both our organizations to make a real difference to the lives of blind computer users by providing a high quality, complete package at a great price. The beauty of Supernova is that it can be networked or run from a server and is the only screen reader that comes with support for Windows terminal server and Citrix Metaframe environments for students who must use a campus-wide network or employees who must interact with a company network. This is a great deal for blind computer users, saving them nearly $1400 compared to purchasing the products individually."
