EVAS has provided Assistive Technology to the visually impaired since 1979 and is a pioneer in computer-based solutions. Our goal in designing the Easy SRM Software was to create a feature rich, multi-purpose, reading and information solution at an exceptional price using our experience with Assistive Technology and our manufacturing capabilities.

Innovative Accessibility Features
Website Accessibility Toolbar - There is a unique and very useful set of buttons located at the top of every page on the website. These buttons provide direct access to changing the font size, toggling the visibility modes, and turning images on and off. These buttons also scroll along with the page so whether you are at the top of a page or scroll to the bottom of a page, the buttons stay in view for easy access. To make these features even easier to access, each button's function can be activated by hotkey instead of having to click on the actual button! To learn the hotkey for each button, just hover over the button to view the tooltip explaining its hotkey. Once you have the page looking the way you want, the settings will be saved in a cookie. All the pages of this site will use the same settings and the settings will also be loaded the next time you visit this site. To clear the settings and return to default, simply click the "Reset" button or press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + R.
Easy Access Icons for each Product page - Each Product Page has a set of icons at the top that provides easy access to a PDF version of the page, a printable version of the page, a link to place an order, and some will have a video link if there is a video associated with the product. When you click the PDF icon it will generate a PDF on-the-fly, and with some of the larger product pages it may take up to 10-15 seconds to produce the PDF, so please be patient and expect a little longer wait time for some pages.
Images and Videos appear in a Lightbox - Some product pages have thumbnail images (or video links) that, when clicked, will appear full-size in a layer called a "Lightbox". When a Lightbox appears, the rest of the webpage fades and is darkened, allowing you to focus your attention on the larger image (or video) that is in the Lightbox. When you click the "Close" link below the image (or video), or click outside of the Lightbox, it will fade away and the web page will reappear back into view. This keeps you on the same page so you don't get lost having to go somewhere else to view an image or video.
