Hey, I just report the news. I would contact them for
questions. I can tell you that the talking checkbook, dictionary and
OCR products are pretty good for Windows.

Hi folks,
I'm trying this again, as the message size seemed to cause a
rejection. This is part of a press release that might be of interest
to Mac users.
Press Release
For Immediate Release
September 17, 2008
Premier Literacy Announces
the Macintosh version of its products.
Premier Literacy, a leader in digital literacy hardware and software,
is proud to announce that it now offers a Macintosh version for its
entire Literacy Productivity Pack of applications.
Kenneth Grisham, President / CEO of Premier Literacy, states "The
obvious importance of the Macintosh to the education arena has been a
driving force behind our decision to release a Macintosh version of
our core products. We have made significant investments to make sure
that our mainstream applications look and perform as well on the Mac
as they do in our long-standing proven products for the PC platform."
Dr. Steve Timmer, VP of Research / Chief Technology Officer, further
elaborates "We performed extensive analysis and testing of our
underlying technologies to ensure that we maintained integrity for the
features and functions found in our products, regardless of the
operating system. In keeping with our overall pursuit of Universal
Design for Learning, we demand that our users have the same positive
experience on the Macintosh platform. Our Literacy Productivity Pack
includes 9 distinct products that enable individuals to be more
efficient when working with digital content. The multi-modal
capabilities of our applications allow students to both see and hear
what is being read or typed. Studies have shown that utilizing
multiple forms of input significantly increases a student's
comprehension and retention of information. The comprehensive set of
features and functions in our Literacy Productivity "suite" is a
tremendous tool box for any user. The Macintosh platform further
extends our reach to optimize the number of users we serve".
Premier Literacy's Macintosh applications will run on any Mac
workstation that is based on the Mactel technology. The Literacy
Productivity "Mac Pack" contains the following 9 applications:
•
• Universal Reader Plus
• Ultimate Talking Dictionary
• E-Text Reader
• Talking Word Processor
• Text-To-Audio
• Scan and Read Pro
• PDF Magic Pro
• PDF Equalizer ML
• Talking Calculator
The Literacy Productivity "Mac Pack" retails for $249.95.
