Pocket Notebook with Synthetic
Speech Output for the Blind Users
Equipped with synthetic speech and the Braille keyboard, the
notebook performs many tasks in several ways. It can serve as a
notetaker. Users can make lists, search through them, remove or
add items. They can ask for the time or date. In
addition to accurate time, there are also
stop watch, alarm clock and count-down timer funkctios. The telephone
directory makes it possible to store names, phone numbers and addresses.
The diary maintains users appointments and reminders of important
events.
The notebook can exchange information with a computer via an
infrared port or a cable. Hence, a user can work with the notebook
anywhere, and later transmit his work to a computer, or receive a
large amount of information (eg an entire book) from a net-connected
computer and read the information with the notebook whenever and
wherever he or she likes. Due to pocket dimensions (182x100x26mm), low
weigh (300g) and build-in rechargeable battery, the user has an aid
for instantaneous every-day use.
