natural-sounding voices and taking advantage of organizational features
such as note taking, bookmarks, content summaries, and an appointment
calendar with audible reminders.
“With Kurzweil 1000, people can go to college and earn degrees; they can
work and read, and live their lives again,” said Dona Orgeron, clinical
nurse manager in Albuquerque, NM.
