HumanWare invites you to join its on-line audio chat room for a web based presentation of Mobile Speak Pocket, the world's first screenreader for devices running the Windows Mobile operating system. On Saturday, June 23 at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, Larry Lewis, President of Flying Blind, LLC will be taking you on a tour of his Windows Mobile PDA and demonstrating how he utilizes this ground-breaking access to perform a number of day to day tasks. Lewis will be incorporating his BrailleConnect braille display into the presentation, thus giving him braille input/output capabilities to an otherwise inaccessible device. Lewis will be premiering a great deal of new braille functionality in the recently released version of Mobile Speak Pocket which offers support for devices running the newly available Windows Mobile 6 operating system. This free update for current Mobile Speak Pocket users also provides the user with support for Power Point Mobile, as well as four new games designed to promote the usage of braille as a tool for developing functional and academic literacy skills. This presentation is completely accessible to both sighted and vision impaired consumers and service providers who use a screen reader, braille display, or magnification program.
The BrailleConnect series of braille displays are the most portable, versatile and innovative access tools which, when used in conjunction with Mobile Speak Pocket, allow for tactual access to hundreds of off-the-shelf PDAs and mobile phones. To join Larry for this on-line demonstration, visit the link below. First time users will be asked to click on the download button to install the necessary chat client plug-in. Create a username to enter the chat room. A password is not required. Lewis will be fielding questions about the usage of Mobile Speak Pocket in conjunction with BrailleConnect displays at the conclusion of the demonstration.

Ai Squared Expands Its Product Line
Ai Squared is proud to add 2 new devices to our product line – the Nemo and the Max. These new affordable devices are designed to increase your ease of reading printed materials. Just as ZoomText lets you see and hear your computer with perfect clarity, these portable devices allow you to extend magnification beyond your computer screen, whether you’re at home, the supermarket, on vacation, or out to dinner – wherever life takes you!
Nemo Magnifier
Our partnership with Enhanced Vision has made it possible to get these life-changing devices into your hands. Call us toll-free at 800-859-0270 (Offer valid in the USA and Canada Only) to place your order and begin enjoying the benefits these devices will bring. Let today be the day you start magnifying the rest of your life! The Nemo is an ultra portable pocket sized magnifier that is so lightweight and compact, it can travel with you anywhere. Tasks such as looking up phone numbers, ordering from a menu, and reading your credit card number are easier than ever.
There are 3 different magnification levels to choose from with the press of a button: 4.5X, 6X, and 9X. In addition, there are 6 high contrast viewing modes so you can adjust the colors on screen to reduce eyestrain. One of the best features is the “Freeze Frame” which allows you to take a temporary magnified snapshot which you can carry to another location. Its built-in 3 hour rechargeable battery allows for total wireless portability. The Nemo is ideal for low vision people who want to be mobile and remain active, and is affordably priced at $795.
“I just can’t put into words how exciting it is that I can now sit on my couch and read a book to my 3-year old daughter Arden, not to mention that I can read a menu even if my table is in the darkest corner of a restaurant,” says Maurie Hill, ZoomText user and Ai Squared Product Support Specialist. “I don’t know how I ever managed without the Nemo – it has just opened up my world in so many ways.”
The Max is our other new product and it is a powerful, portable, handheld reading aid resembling the size of a computer mouse. It connects directly to any TV in seconds and enlarges print on any surface – curved or straight. The magnification level will depend on the size of your television screen. For example, on a 13 inch screen, you can adjust the magnification from 13x to 20x and on a 20 inch screen, adjust from 16x to 28x.
There are 2 versions of Max available: Max Color Display ($449) and Max Black & White Display ($349). Max is great for reading recipes in the kitchen, all your mail, newspapers, magazines, and medicine labels. It’s perfect for use in the home as well as on vacation – just hook Max up to the TV in your hotel room and you are good to go!
“My mother has not been able to read anything for a long time,” says Sarah Crutchfield of Georgia. “But she now can read everything from her bank statements, telephone numbers, and she was even able to see a picture of her great grandson!"
To order your Nemo or Max today call us toll free at 1-800-859-0270. For more information on both of these products, please visit www.aisquared.com/portable
