With simple keyboard commands you can hear your email or have a web page read to you. Plus the built in screen reader will read all other files even PDF. Simply place your printed document on the scanner, push one button and in 20 seconds or less, you can both listen to and see the document in large type on your monitor. Our Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program changes the images into text characters. Colligo's Text To Speech (TTS) platform then converts the words and punctuation into the spoken word. The scanner, OCR and TTS are similar to a copying machine, a photocopier with a voice! Once listened to, you can now save that reading for later use, print it out in large type or even in Braille.
Scan N Talk, with or out the scanner, allows the visually impaired to have access to the printed word, allows those with dyslexia to greatly improve word recognition, improves reading capabilities for the poor reader and those with learning disabilities. And for those learning a new language associates the printed word with the spoken sound. For further information and pricing call 360 647-3404. 10/05

VOCED/School to Work Project Perkins Act Fact Sheet Particular attention must be given to ensure that practices do not result in students who are members of special populations either being excluded from or "tracked" into any specific vocational education programs. In order to minimize the possibility of infringing upon equal access rights for students who are members of special populations, a program could, for example, use a lottery selection to determine admission of applicants to the full range of vocational education courses. In this way, all interested students would be afforded an equally random opportunity for admission to all components of the vocational education program. 11/03
