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_*

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.
