Handy Tech North America is pleased to offer iRead, a new, robust, cost effective and easy to use reading solution developed by Handy Tech GmbH of Horb Germany.
iRead is software that converts a Windows-PC with a scanner and screen reader into an open reading system.
Gain access to print material with minimal effort. There is only one key press between the start of the program and the reading of the first page of printed text. iRead automatically detects the connected scanner and searches for the best settings for the individual model. Check the orientation of a document with a single keystroke.
iRead captures the structure of a document. Not only does iRead detect headings, but also creates a table of contents based on these headings. Simply select a heading from the created table of contents and then easily jump to the selected position in the document.
Use the search function of iRead to jump to a specific word within the scanned document. Set a bookmark and easily pick up where you left off.
iRead lets you import images from different formats such as PDF and several image types which are quickly and accurately rendered into accessible text. Perspective distortions and misalignments are automatically corrected by iRead.
iRead is designed and optimized to be used in combination with screen reader programs. If you are not using one of the leading screen readers like Window-Eyes, Zoomtext with speech or JAWS, you have the option of using iRead along with NVDA, a free and open source screen reader. Enjoy the ability to use any Handy Tech Braille display along with iRead and any of the popular screen readers including NVDA.
"As North America master distributors of Handy Tech products, we are very pleased to add a high quality OCR package to our offerings" says Handy Tech North America President and Founder Earle Harrison, "At first I questioned the introduction of a version 1 OCR software program in an industry where other products have had time to develop over 15-20 years; however, after experiencing the speed and accuracy of iRead firsthand, I knew we had a contender".
Handy Tech GmbH Managing Director Sigi Kipke states "Earle and his team have done an extraordinary job representing Handy Tech products over the past 4 years and I have every confidence in their ability to make iRead a success as they continue to serve our Canadian and U.S customers".
The cost of iRead is $750.00 USD.
Licensing iRead is simply a matter of obtaining an activation code.

Handy Tech North America Now Offers Handy CMS
Handy Tech North America now offers Handy CMS, the new online Contact Management System developed with an emphasis on accessibility.
Customers ranging in size from a sole proprietorship to large companies and government agencies will enjoy the quick, easy and efficient method of accessing important client and customer information in a secure, convenient and totally accessible environment.
Handy CMS does away with the limitations of desktop based contact management software as well as the need to purchase multiple single user or expensive site licenses.
A convenient low monthly or annual subscription fee provides businesses and organizations with a reliable and scalable customer relations tool while saving them thousands of dollars in up-front software costs.
Also, Handy CMS subscribers never pay a penny extra to take advantage of new features or improvements as is the case with desktop based software packages, because improvements are available to all Handy CMS subscribers as they are released.
"Handy CMS has proven to be an extraordinary productivity and communication tool for my company", says Handy Tech North America Founder and President Earle Harrison". "Although there are already some very good contact management systems in existence, people who are blind or have low vision have always been hard pressed to find one that offered full access throughout the entire program. Historically it has been necessary for screen reader manufacturers to devote resources toward customizing these programs in order for screen reader users to gain access to only a small fraction of features for a particular contact management software program".
The Handy CMS user interface is HTML based so it may be accessed from just about any web browser or device. So whether you are using a Windows based PC, Apple Macintosh computer, cell phone or PDA, Handy CMS offers quick, easy and secure access to your contact's information anytime and from anywhere you have an Internet connection.
Handy CMS features currently include:
- An easy to use Web interface regardless of platform
- Quick search feature by category
- Task manager which allows tasks to be associated with specific contacts and the ability to task other users on the system
- A calendar which allows appointments to be scheduled by other users and a day, week and month views
- Quick note for documentation of customer interactions
- A company-wide virtual bulletin board
- The ability for screen reader users to navigate by various elements such as heading style, tables and with the use of short cut keys
- A change log that allows users to view the most recent activity in chronological order
- The ability to switch between a variety of foregrounds, backgrounds, font sizes and colors which is most beneficial for users with low vision
- An optional call bridger that allows the user to place a phone call simply by clicking on the phone number
If you are interested in running a trial of the Handy CMS service, you may get started by going to:

If you have questions about the Handy CMS service, please send an email to: cmssupport@handytech.us.
Handy Tech North America also offers database migration, customization and VOIP integration on the professional consultation basis. For more information call:

Handy Tech North America Opens Illinois Branch Office
Effective August 1, 2009, Handy Tech North America is pleased to announce the opening of our Illinois Office. We are delighted to welcome David Wright as Regional Sales Manager representing Handy Tech North America and GW Micro. David Wright has worked as our Technical Support Specialist since 2007. Many of you may already know him as the patient helpful voice on the other end of the line ready to answer your technology related questions.
Chicago has been home to him for the last ten years; however, along with his duties in Illinois, he will also be traveling the Eastern United states to work with HTNA distributors, organizations and consumers to lend a hand.
Handy Tech North America is pleased to be the authorized GW Micro dealers for the state of Illinois. Not only will Dave represent the high quality Handy Tech Braille devices and accessible mobile solutions for which we are well known, he will also be our man in Chicago for GW Micro sales and solutions.
"I am thrilled that Dave accepted the position as Regional Sales Manager" says Handy Tech North America owner and President Earle Harrison, "his passion for the technology is obvious, but the sense of satisfaction he derives from empowering the people who use it is clearly a much more important part of the equation for him."
"Anything is possible with imagination and commitment! Working with Handy Tech and adaptive technology supports my passion for helping people reach their full potential while continuing to expand our ideas for what full potential can mean. I look forward to working with individuals and organizations to eliminate the obstacles to full participation, and to finding the most positive solutions to challenging problems," says Dave Wright.
Dave has already hit the ground running with his new job and is scheduled to present at several events, conferences, conventions and trade shows, not the least of which being the first ever conference of the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) to be held in Schaumburg, Illinois from October twenty-eighth until October thirty-first 2009.
BookSense
Handy Tech is pleased to now offer BookSense.
BookSense
The new portable digital audio book player, BookSense, allows people to access information for education, information, and entertainment.

BookSense XT
In addition to all of the standard features, the BookSense XT boasts 4 GB of built-in memory, an FM radio, and Bluetooth capability. Use the BookSense XT to listen to your favorite radio station, or use the Bluetooth to use your stereo Bluetooth headset.

Code Factory Braille Embossed Manuals
With the manufacturer's permission, Handy Tech North America is pleased to now offer our North American customers Braille embossed manuals for many Code Factory screen reading and magnification products. Although manuals for these products are available in electronic format making it easy to access them with the use of a screen reader, Handy Tech North America has received several requests from customers who would like to access these materials in Braille embossed format.
"Although it may appear to some that I am speaking in riddle, many Braille readers are visual learners", says Handy Tech North America President and Founder Earle Harrison, "The fact is, reading Braille stimulates the same part of the brain that is stimulated when sighted people read print. For many people sighted or blind, sitting with the manual spread out in front of them as they are trying to comprehend new technology is the preferred method of learning."
Making Code Factory Braille embossed manuals available is just one more way of providing the instructional tools people need in the format that they prefer.
Existing customers who purchase their Code Factory products from Handy Tech North America will enjoy significantly reduced prices on their Code Factory Braille manuals and in the case of the revolutionary Mobile Geo GPS navigation software, the Braille manual is available for free upon request.
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer the free Mobile Geo Braille manual retroactively to those who have already purchased Mobile Geo; however, as a rule, existing HTNA customers will receive a 50 percent discount off the regular price of all of the Code Factory Braille manuals that we offer.
Pricing is as follows

Three Braille volumes
Regular price: $74.99

Plug and Braille with Handy Tech Easy Braille!
On December 11, 2008, Serotek announced via the Serotek blog their endorsement of the Accessibility Anywhere Based Braille Display petition to Braille display manufacturers created and written by George McDermith. This petition urges Braille display manufacturers to do-away with proprietary drivers and instead use standard, mainstream technologies that will drive these devices regardless of the screen reader being used.
As an avid Braille reader myself, I am proud to be a signer of this petition. We at Handy Tech North America support Mr. McDermith's efforts with respect to this matter and in order to demonstrate our commitment to the cause, we are pleased to announce the Handy Tech Plug and Braille initiative with the introduction of Easy Braille with HID support.
HID stands for Human Interface Device and is the open standard for plug and play devices such as keyboards and mice. The HID protocol requires no separate software installations in order for these devices to work. Now Braille readers can simply plug-in their Handy Tech Easy Braille with HID support and gain immediate Braille access regardless of their chosen screen reader.
Although Easy Braille with HID support has been several months in the making prior to Mr. McDermith's petition, his timing is perfect as it affords Handy Tech the opportunity to demonstrate that we are once again on the leading edge when it comes to giving customers the tools they need when they need them.
For over a year now, Handy Tech customers have enjoyed the ability to walk up to one of millions of Apple computers and gain immediate grade two Braille access simply by plugging in their Handy Tech Braille display.
Handy Tech is pleased to now offer the same freedom of access on the Microsoft Windows side or on any other platform that supports the HID protocol.
Combine this new Plug and Braille development with the high quality and ergonomic design for which Handy Tech products are known worldwide, and enjoy a flexible and reliable Braille solution for many years to come in the Handy Tech Easy Braille.
"I don't believe that people should be penalized because of the screen reader they use," says Sigi Kipke, Managing Director of Handy Tech GmbH in Horb, Germany, the manufacturers of Handy Tech Braille products. Kipke further stresses the importance of access to portable electronic Braille by stating that Braille products should not be viewed as some obscure technology used by just a few blind people, rather it should be viewed as a progressive and innovative technology that gives Braille readers the same advantages and opportunities as print readers.
Although Easy Braille with HID support is slated for release in May of 2009, Handy Tech representatives from both European and North American offices will be demonstrating this exciting new development at this year's California State University Northridge Center on Disabilities 24th Annual Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference, otherwise known as CSUN.
Please join us in the exhibit hall at booth 302 of the Marriott LAX hotel where we will be enthusiastically demonstrating the following products:
- Easy Braille with new HID support.
- The new Handy Tech Braille driver for Nuance Talks which allows for the input of grade two Braille among other things.
- The powerful netbook computer and Braille display options available from Handy Tech North America which does away with the out-dated notion that technology for blind people must be based on a closed and proprietary platform.
- Last but not least, the latest developments around the exciting Active Tactile Control (ATC) technologies that actually senses the user's fingers on the Braille display and responds accordingly based on reading behaviors. This ground breaking technology is useful for Braille readers of all skill levels.
Portable SenseView Pocket
GW Micro is proud to introduce the latest advancement in portable CCTV technology: the Portable SenseView Pocket. The PSV Pocket is one of the smallest portable CCTVs available on the market, allowing you to easily carry it with you wherever you go.
The PSV Pocket uses a new technology never before used in portable CCTVs.While the screen of the PSV Pocket is a 3.4 inch flat screen, it does not use an LCD screen. Instead, it uses the new Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology for the screen. This means that the screen is brighter with true black, and unsurpassed color. It also means that it has an unlimited viewing angle, so you can easily see what is on the screen from any direction. This is one of the biggest advancements in portable CCTV technology history.
The PSV Pocket is extremely easy to use. The camera is located in the center, and it incorporates near-distance technology, which means you can hold the unit over top of what you are looking at, instead of having to put it directly on the surface. This makes using the SenseView Pocket as easy as using a magnifying glass.
Magnify images from 1.5x up to 10.5x with just the press of a button. Choose from several different color modes, including full color, black and white, enhanced black and white, white on black, and enhanced white on black. These color options make the SenseView Pocket perfect for customers with retinal degenerative diseases, such as macular degeneration.
For customers with eyes that are very light sensitive, you can adjust the brightness of the screen, as well as the brightness of the LED lights located on the bottom of the unit.
Do you have trouble seeing price tags in the grocery store? Use the snapshot feature on the SenseView Pocket to take a snapshot of a hard-to-see price tag on the shelf, and then bring it close to your eyes to for simple and easy viewing.
For answers to many of your commonly asked questions or for more information, check out the SenseView Pocket on the Web: GW Micro - SenseView Pocket or email: sales@gwmicro.com.
The Portable SenseView Pocket retails for $595. You can purchase one from your local GW Micro dealer or from GW Micro directly. To locate a local dealer, go to: GW Micro - Find a Dealer. You can also call GW Micro directly to order at (260) 489-3671.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Our Orders Department is ready to take your orders on a first-come, first-served basis, so please get your orders in as soon as possible.
Samsung NC10 Netbook
Handy Tech North America is pleased to have added the Samsung NC10 to our
offerings of netbook computers. Although the NC10 has virtually the same
specifications as many other netbook computers on the market, the 7 plus
hours of continuous use battery life due to Samsungs own battery management
software places this little power house in a class all its own.
Window-Eyes users will be thrilled to know that the right hand mouse
navigation commands do work when holding down the FN key which is not the
case with some other netbook and as you would expect, the Serotek System
Access screen reader works great on the NC10 as well.
Handy Tech North America offers the Samsung NC 10 in metallic blue or white
with the following specifications: 10.2 inch footprint, 1.6 GHZ Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive,
running windows XP home, 3 USB ports, Ethernet port built-in webcam a
microphone, 3 in one card reader, headphone and microphone jack Wifi and
Bluetooth.
One of our most popular bundle packages is a netbook with System Access
screen reader Atom License and Neospeech for $699.00. We install the Jarte
word processor which has basic formatting and spell checking features as
well as the Serotek RIM host in case you would like us to remote into your
computer for training or support purposes.
As always, don't hesitate to contact Handy Tech North America should you
have any question regarding these promotions or any other adaptive
technology solution. Phone: 651-636-5184, e-mail: sales@handytech.us.
