VoiceNote mPower BT
VoiceNote mPower QT |
When it was first introduced in 2000, the BrailleNote and VoiceNote products were the first of its kind. These are notetakers developed by and for visually impaired users to easily organize their notes and also be able to access the Internet and read and compose e-mail. As these products have evolved, so have their capabilities. Building on the success of the original BrailleNote line of products, VoiceNote mPower offers many newer features and a great new look. Key features in VoiceNote mPower include: Fast Intel X-Scale processor Every VoiceNote model gives you instant access to each of the following applications: Word Processor: Create, edit and store documents, convert them to Braille or a range of
mainstream text formats including Microsoft Word, print or emboss any document, translate between Braille
and text VoiceNote BT/QT: The VoiceNote will appeal to those who prefer high-quality speech output without a Braille display. Most of the same great features of the BrailleNote are packed into an even smaller and lighter unit. Choose from either a Braille key or QWERTY input, depending on your preference. With the VoiceNote mPower, the user can connect the VoiceNote to an Braille embosser for printing, either directly through one of the USB ports or by a USB to Parallel Converter if the embosser only has a Parallel port. In addition, you can use the serial port to connect to a desktop or laptop for a visual display of the functions of the VoiceNote. Newer features of the VoiceNote mPower: KeyBase - This application is a powerful database manager allowing easy creation of personal databases. KeyBase ships with many useful databases to assist in cataloging your music collection, keeping track of home inventory, entering recipes, logging ham radio contacts and so much more. But the step-by-step, wizard-style interface of KeyBase makes it a snap to create your own databases too. Simply tell KeyBase the names of your fields and the type of data you want to store in that field. Be specific right down to the kind of Braille you want to be entered into a field, if you wish.Want to share your database with others? Then you can even customize the messages users read when they press the help key when entering data into each field. KeyBase allows easy importing and exporting to and from many applications including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access and many online banking systems. Updated KeyPlus Scientific Calculator - Work with fractions in the updated KeyPlus Scientific Calculator. As well as performing standard mathematical operations, you can convert fractions to decimals and vice versa, convert fractions to and from percentages, convert a fraction to its lowest terms, and much more. Statistics Support in KeyPlus - KeySoft offers more intuitive, powerful statistical functions in KeyPlus. Create data sets within the Calculator using a special data entry mode. Enter your data into a KeyWord document, and paste it into data entry mode from the clipboard. Import data sets from many common applications. Save data sets for later use, and export them for use by other applications. Perform a wide range of statistical functions on a data set using an intuitive KeySoft menu, or with hotkeys. Games - Interactive fiction comes to the VoiceNote. Interactive fiction, also known as text adventures, will take you into mysterious worlds where you can look at your environment, move around, collect objects, talk to all kinds of strange creatures and sometimes find yourself trapped. There are hundreds of compatible interactive fiction games available for download on the Internet, ranging from educational titles for kids right through to epic fantasy for the serious gamer, and you can play them right on your VoiceNote. Easily switch in and out of games when you need to check e-mail or make a note, play music in the background while you solve the latest mystery, or save games for later resumption. Braille Input for JAWS for Windows - Compose e-mail, write a Microsoft Word document or work with your spreadsheets on your PC, all from your VoiceNote's keyboard. More Bluetooth Support - In addition to what has already been useful with the integrated
Bluetooth wireless technology, here's what can also be done: FM Radio - Scan the FM band for your stations and save them as presets. Listen to the FM radio while you work on other tasks. Control the volume of the FM radio separately from the volume of the speech. Even use the recorder to record FM radio stations. Eloquence Speech - Use the highly responsive and accurate KeyNote Gold speech, or switch to the familiar Eloquence speech that is widely available on access technology products. When Eloquence is active, you may also choose to have hyperlinks voiced in a different Eloquence voice when using KeyWeb, making the web really come to life. DAISY Support - Your BrailleNote can be your digital book player. HumanWare is the world leader in DAISY playback technology, through our Victor Reader products. That Victor Reader technology has been incorporated right into KeySoft. Listen to DAISY audio books, with the flexibility to speed up and slow down the narration and change the tone of the audio. Set bookmarks, create text notes, and jump to any time in the book. Text-only DAISY books are instantly translated into your preferred grade of Braille. With books that offer both text and audio, you have the best of both worlds. Choose to read in Braille for detailed study, and let the narrator read to you when it suits. Move through DAISY elements, or use the familiar KeySoft sentence and paragraph navigation commands in text DAISY books if you prefer. Improved File Management - KeySoft also allows extensive manipulation of files from any file list. Anywhere you can see a list of files, you can copy, erase, move, protect, unprotect and rename a file. Now, it is possible to mark files for action. Move through a list of files, mark those files that you need to take action on, and the file manipulation commands can be applied to the group of files. When you look through a file list using the Directory option in File Manager, pressing ENTER on any file will launch its associated application. Pressing ENTER on an mp3 file, for example, will immediately cause it to start playing in the Media Player. In any file list, it is even easier to get it sorted. You can still sort files alphabetically as you have always done, however you can also sort by date and by size. Sorting by size is a great way of finding those pesky large files that are consuming Flash Disk space. Sorting by date makes it easier to trace the progress of a project whose files are contained in their own folder. Email Enhancements - KeySoft has the additional ability to set up two e-mail signatures. Configure an e-mail signature for messages you generate, and another for messages you forward or reply to. You can see the text of the signature right in the body of any e-mail message you create. User Testimonial for VoiceNote mPower Florida Reading and Vision Technology was honored to be featured in a section of the American Foundation for the Blind's Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, which includes a part involving the VoiceNote mPower. Please right-click on the following link to save this to your computer or portable device, as it is a text file: AFB's Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness article featuring Florida Reading and Vision Technology, January 2008Accessories for the VoiceNote mPower: Compact Flash Video Card Adapter: A compact flash video card adapter is available, which can be used with all mPower units running at least KeySoft Version 7.2. When the card is inserted, the VoiceNote mPower automatically detects the card, and the visual display is active. All that is required is a monitor or LCD projector to provide a visual display. This video card adapter has been used successfully for the mPower with an LCD projector or a flat screen monitor at BrailleNote workshops and conferences. Teachers, parents and sighted trainers are very excited about this newer option. Multi-Lingual Capability: You can search for text, check spelling, print and emboss in another language. Change the language of text, and the language features are retained even when you copy and paste that text. Use just one language or switch back and forth in just 2 keystrokes. Multi-lingual is available in all BrailleNote software functions from the word processor to e-mail. Available in Spanish, French, German and Italian. BrailleNote GPS: BrailleNote GPS puts the map of the world at your fingertips. Navigate independently using maps or routes you have created yourself. GPS works in vehicles, while walking, even flying. Because of the lack of parallel ports in the VoiceNote mPower, there has been a concern regarding the use of many printers and Braille Embossers that do not have wireless capability. There are separate Bluetooth and Infrared adapters available, which have been tested and approved for use with the VoiceNote mPower, that allow a printer or Braille Embosser to become wireless. Please Contact Us for more information, especially as to how the VoiceNote mPower can be used with these separate accessories. Tech notes: |
