Subject: [GWN] CSUN 2010 - GW Micro Announcements and News
It's another exciting year for GW Micro at CSUN 2010. 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.
Voice Sense QWERTY
www.gwmicro.com/voice_sense/qwerty
At long last, this is the Voice Sense that so many of our customers
have been asking for. The Voice Sense QWERTY combines the latest
technology of the Braille Sense Plus with the small footprint of the
Voice Sense. Weighing in at less than one pound, the Voice Sense
QWERTY is the only notetaker to offer a built-in GPS receiver and a
digital compass to make it simple to navigate around your home or to
find your way to the train station, restaurant, grocery store, or
practically any other location.
Teachers and students will enjoy the new support for accessible
DAISY textbooks using the NIMAS format. You can also read Microsoft
Word 2003 and 2007 documents, along with numerous other
formats. Carrying on the tradition of the other Sense notetakers,
the Voice Sense QWERTY has a powerful line-up of applications to
help make you productive in your educational and work environment,
or in your personal life. Browse the web with built-in Wi-Fi or
listen to the Voice Sense QWERTY with a Bluetooth headset. Whether
you are a working professional, a student, retired, or if you have
low vision, the Voice Sense QWERTY is the small, easy solution to
keep you in touch with your friends and family, keep you organized,
or to use as entertainment.

included DVI port, making it simple to connect any flat-screen
television or new computer. The new enhanced version offers a sleek
design, and the improved image quality makes it one of the best
desktop CCTVs in its class. It's stylish, simplistic design makes
