We have many exciting things to unveil to you beginning with the brand new BookSense DS. BookSense DS www.gwmicro.com/booksense/ds The BookSense DS is the first and only book player to have a display, and not just any type of display, an OLED display. Cutting edge technology meets assistive technology with the BookSense DS. While looking like a standard MP3 player, it is capable of everything you have come to know and love from the BookSense, including the ability to play NLS, RFB&D, MP3, music from iTunes (MP4), Word 2003 and 2007 document, DAISY books, and more. The BookSense DS also boasts 4 GB of built-in memory, along with an SD card slot that accepts high-capacity memory cards. The built-in accessible FM radio even receives reception from radio stations without the need for headphones. On the front of the unit, the keys have spaces between them making finding each key simple for customers who may lack feeling in their fingers. The OLED display is fantastic for the classroom or students who have learning difficulties. Teachers can use the display to see what the students are doing, or to see what the BookSense is saying. Students with learning difficulties will be able to follow along on the screen when reading an accessible DAISY textbook or a document to help reinforce the material. Students will be able to see and hear the textbooks, and they can even adjust the rate of how fast they read to make reading fun and easy.
