(PRWEB) October 31, 2004 -- October 22, 2004 Premier Assistive Technology unveiled its latest product at the Closing the Gap Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, its new Talking Pointer. The Talking Pointer has been integrated into the Universal Reader and Universal Reader Plus products. The Talking Pointer will start to ship on November 1, 2004.
What makes this talking pointer" technology so remarkable is its ability to read almost anything on the screen. The user has the ability to control how much or how little it reads. One of the most common barriers to getting individuals to use assistive technology has often been the complexity of products themselves. Many software companies just keep adding more features to existing products in an effort to make them better, but in reality they make the products more difficult to use, hence, they often end up on the shelf collecting dust.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Talking Pointer is its ease of use. It requires almost no training. And when we say almost no training", we mean it! It generally takes a user less than five minutes to start using it proficiently. Just use your mouse, point at anything on the screen and it reads it to you. This ease of use makes it appealing to ALL age groups. It can be used by anyone from second graders who cant read yet to a retired individual who has trouble reading. This broad range of users and ease of use truly makes it a universal reader". Its elegance is its simplicity. Just think, you can now make the web come alive with voice. Just point at a link and it will be read to you. Read a paragraph simply by pointing at it! Even icons, field headings, virtually ANYTHING that you can point to with your cursor on the screen can be read to you!
In addition to the Talking Pointer, the Universal Reader can be used to read documents, emails and web pages. You can read the information just by selecting what you want to read with your mouse and click on the read button and the Universal Reader will start reading to you. The words are highlighted as they are being read back to you. It has a full set of options that let you pick a voice, reading speed, font size and even foreground and background colors. You will find Universal Reader to be one of the most useful reading tools on the market.
The Universal Reader suggested retail price is only $39.95 and Universal Reader Plus (with scanning) sells for $79.95.
