Claro Software is now Cyber Essentials Certified!

Posted on 5th July, 2018 by Claro Admin

We are excited to announce that as of today, we are now Cyber Essentials certified.

Not sure what Cyber Essentials is?

Cyber Essentials helps to guard against the most common cyber threats and demonstrates our commitment to cyber security.

Our systems and software meet the following requirements under five technical control themes:

firewalls
secure configuration
user access control
malware protection
patch management

Our certification reassures you that our defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber-attacks simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.

ClaroSpeak iOS 3.0 Released

Posted on 29th May, 2018 by Claro Admin

Version 3 of our ClaroSpeak for iOS app was released towards the end of May 2018 and brought with it lots of great new features and improvements. For a complete list of these changes, you can check the release notes here: ClaroSpeak 3.0 release notes.

One of the biggest changes gives everyone access to all of the iOS system voices, free of charge. This means you can now choose male and female variants for different voice languages, as well as accessing higher-quality versions and the Siri voices.

Another change saw the font and colour options now being accessible from the keyboard:

This change not only lets you change these settings more quickly, but it also lets you see the changes as they are applied, so you can be sure to choose the right settings for you:

One of the best new features in V3 is the addition of the “Read with ClaroSpeak” web extension. This lets you choose a webpage from Safari, or other browsers, and then have that web page read back to you with highlighting. You can access this new extension from the Share menu in your browser app:
