MINNEAPOLIS - May 6, 2002 - Serotek Corporation today announced the launch of its online shopping mall service on its Freedombox Network, a unique Internet portal that provides content and services specifically designed for the disabled community. The move will enable people who are blind and disabled to shop and purchase millions of items over the Internet by voice command alone.

Freedombox Network is the online service behind FreedomboxT, a new and unique combination of Internet accessibility software and optional hardware that unlocks the Internet for the blind and others unable to use standard point-and-click technology.

"Our new Freedombox online shopping mall will literally allow our users to shop the Net just by speaking to it," says Mike Calvo, chief executive officer, Serotek Corp. "The launch of our online shopping mall is an important first step in our efforts to bring the products and services of many online retailers to the blind and disabled in an environment where accessibility is guaranteed. It also reflects our ability to connect online retailers with a previously hard-to-reach market."

Freedombox Network will provide its subscribers with access to the extensive array of consumer products available through retail sites including Amazon.com, including audio books, home electronics, housewares, gifts, clothing, music, software, tools, and toys. Many of the buying services and functionality of some of these sites, such as easy user registration, search, purchasing, customer product reviews, and sample audio tracks will also be available to Freedombox Network subscribers.
