I know the answer will be "no" already, but asking never hurt
anyone, so here goes... Any word on that new ks release? Maybe
just a hint about features, from hw itself (no offense Joseph)?
Have a great day,
Alex

HumanWare Innovation Continues in 2008 by Building on Strong
Successes
of 2007
March 19, 2008 -- HumanWare's participation in last week's 2008
CSUN
Technology and Persons with Disability Conference, where they
made two
new product announcements, demonstrates HumanWare's continuing
global
leadership in developing and providing assistive technologies for
the
print disabled.
The CSUN conference offered the opportunity to listen to and talk
with
international attendees from around the world, including Europe,
Asia
and Australia. Town Hall meetings with customers and round table
discussions with education technology leaders allowed HumanWare
to hear
firsthand customer needs and product requirements. This feedback
helps
HumanWare continually update its current products as well as plan
for
future products to meet specific customer needs.
As recently stated by Gilles Pepin, Group CEO of HumanWare, "The
BrailleNote Family is our flagship product and we are committed
to
investing in its future development and innovation. Our goal is
to
create a more mainstream approach to product development. We
will
continue to have innovative and successful products for the
BrailleNote
family in the future, just as we have done with the Stream,
ClassMate,
and Breeze." In addition Mr. Pepin announced a new KeySoft
upgrade for
the BrailleNote later this year.
HumanWare Announces 2008 Launch of Two Innovative Products:
Last week, at the 2008 CSUN conference HumanWare unveiled a new
talking
GPS for people who are blind. The Trekker Breeze was designed
for use
when travelling in familiar surroundings and provides talking GPS
directions that help users know where they are and where they are
going
whether on foot or in a vehicle. This new model is an addition
to the
popular Trekker and BrailleNote GPS systems, which have thousands
of
users worldwide. HumanWare offers the most complete line of GPS
tools
for visually impaired people.
HumanWare, in partnership with the Washington State Office of
Deaf and
Hard of Hearing (ODHH), has developed the Deaf Blind Communicator
(DBC)
which provides three types of communication for deaf blind users:
face-to-face, TTY, and SMS Texting. The DBC consists of two
separate
components that deaf blind users can easily carry wherever they
go.
These two components communicate wirelessly with each other using
Bluetooth.
HumanWare Builds on Innovative Products Launched in 2007
Since last summer's launch, HumanWare's Victor Stream has sold
thousands
of units worldwide. This versatile, powerful NIMAS, DAISY-MP3
and NISO
player lets users read and navigate through complex reference
manuals
and school books, as well as novels and magazines. Members of
NLS
(National Library Services) and RFB&D (Recording for the Blind
and
Dyslexic) enjoy an enhanced reading experience. With the latest
release
of Version 1.2 on March 10, 2008, Serotek customers with a
subscription
to their System Access Mobile Network services can now listen to
most
content from that network. No other DAISY player offers so much
in such
a small package and at an affordable price.
HumanWare's ClassMate Reader, a new portable and affordable
digital
audio book player announced in the fall 2007 continues to prove
helpful
to students in increasing their reading speed, comprehension and
vocabulary. The ClassMate reads aloud and simultaneously
displays and
highlights text on its full color screen. It also includes
helpful study
tools that enhance learning through bookmarks, recording and a
speaking
dictionary. With built-in text-to-speech, the ClassMate Reader
works
with e-text or NIMAS files. The ClassMate is a completely
portable
stand-alone solution.
