Bush Presidential Inauguration Publications Use High-Tech Code






Persons with Print Disabilities Have Full Access to Inauguration Guides




Atlanta, GA, January, 16, 2001 (OTCBB: ITAC) Intacta Technologies, Inc.'s latest
application of INTACTA.CODE technology is being used by IDEAL at NCR to enhance
Inaugural-related publications into screen-readable text, in support of persons
with print disabilities. Using encoding, compression, and error correction
algorithms developed by Intacta engineers in Israel, Intacta developed the
software being used by IDEAL to convert both the Presidential Inauguration
Program Book and Inauguration Guidebook into a tiny pattern of dots called
INTACTA.CODE. This code resembles a sophisticated barcode. However, unlike
traditional barcodes requiring sophisticated optical or laser scanning
equipment, INTACTA.CODE can be scanned by any of the millions of TWAIN compliant
scanners already in today's homes and workplaces.


"Being able to scan the full text of the Presidential Inaugural Committee's
10,000 word Guidebook into a computer, from one small 3 x 4 inch printed code,
is an incredible leap forward for scanning technologies in support of persons
with print disabilities," said Steve Jacobs, President of IDEAL at NCR.


Although our primary use for INTACTA.CODE is in wireless, logistics and
pervasive computing environments, we're happy that it has found a use in
enabling persons with print disabilities to have a wider and more affordable
means to access printed materials, said Noel Bambrough, COO of Intacta.
