Kurzweil
1000 is scanning and reading software that makes printed or electronic
text accessible to people who are blind or have limited vision. It is
the direct descendent of the first reading machine for the blind invented
by Ray Kurzweil in 1976.
Using Optical Character Recognition and Text to Speech technology combined with a unique audible user interface, Kurzweil 1000 converts the printed word into speech. Users can scan in books, articles, bills, and advertisements - almost anything that fits on a scanner, so they can quickly have the information read aloud. Moreover, the text can be saved in Kurzweil's accessible format for future reference and modification.
Scanning and reading printed text with accuracy, speed and reliability continues to be the foundation of Kurzweil 1000, but it has evolved into a much more versatile tool. Kurzweil 1000 can open and read a broad variety of electronic text formats, efficiently search, download and read electronic books and magazines directly from sites such as Bookshare.org, Web Braille and other electronic repositories.
Kurzweil 1000 can also share information with the outside world through an array of powerful options including outputting documents and audio files to portable devices; sending files and excerpts to familiar e-mail applications; and faxing or photocopying text and images.
Kurzweil 1000 users have a great deal of control over how they manage the information they access and many tools to assist them in mastering it. To name a few, they can choose from numerous reading voices, set the reading speed and pitch, skim, summarize, look up words using a built in dictionary and thesaurus, create and edit new documents, check for spelling errors, set bookmarks, and share documents or excerpts through conventional e-mail applications.
Kurzweil 1000 provides multiple avenues to accessible information, making printed pages and electronic archives more readily available and more useful than ever before.

Duxbury Braille Translator
DBT
is simple to use--beginners learn in just minutes. Yet its depth, power
and accuracy are such that it is used by most of the major braille production
centers throughout the world. The current version (10.2 or later) provides
the following at no extra charge:
•Built-in interline printing
(see sample above) to have ink-braille and print together. This makes
an easy proofing and teaching tool. Great for the braille-impaired too!

•Intermediate levels (between grade 1 and 2) for American braille
•The ability to include tactile graphics files for mixed text-and-graphic
documents
•Separate versions for Windows, DOS and Mac.

prepared on any platform can be used on any other!
•Imports from popular word processors including Microsoft Word and
WordPerfect, HTML, ICADD, formatted and plain ASCII, earlier braille editors
such as EDGAR and Polkadot, and Duxbury's own historical file formats,
and more.
•The current (February 2000) translation table menu includes eighteen
major languages plus seven variations, including grade 2 support for most
jurisdictions where grade 2 is customarily used. Moreover, DBT allows
languages other than the principal language to be embedded in the same
file and treated as appropriate for the context. (Contact us if you have
questions about a specific language.) Now braille for foreign-language
texts and language teaching texts is a snap.
•Bidirectional (print-to-braille and braille-to-print) translation
•American Computer Braille Code (CBC) translation
•American textbook layout according to Braille Authority of North
America (BANA) standards, and likewise the
•Braille Authority of the United Kingdom (BAUK) customs for the
same purpose
•Accurate presentation of both print or braille in either WYSIWYG
(what-you-see-is-what-you-get) or coded (how-you-get-what-you-want) views
in the word-processing screen, with easy switching between views
•A "translated line" showing the "other" form
in either print or braille files
•Six-key chording for braille and print entry, not timing-based,
compatible with most keyboards
•Help screens throughout the program
•Documentation in print, braille & electronic formats
•Over 100 formatting & translation codes for a high level of
flexibility
•A library of user-configurable styles
•A user-extendable template library for even more flexibility
•A spell-checker with
300,000-word dictionary

braille

programs
