Talking Calculator
Price: $14.95
This full functioning "talking calculator" can be used with or without a screen reader. Every button and edit area talks. It is easy to use with
large keys and contrasting colors. It has three display areas, so when the user adds a series of numbers, the total is always displayed,
even as you are entering a new number, while always displaying any numbers in memory.
However, the feature that really sets it apart from other calculators is that it displays your entries and results as you work. It actually
displays the equation so that you can easily see or hear your last process. When students are required to show their work, they can
simply cut and paste the steps into a document.
This tool is the perfect affordable complement to any assistive software suite.

OFF Limits
Price: $29.95
Not all that long ago, the classic admonishment to all parents late at night was “Do you know where your children are?” The primary
concern for all parents if their children were not at home was, “Were they safe or were they someplace they weren’t supposed to be?” Of
course, the ultimate parental control was to tell their child something was "off limits," where could your child go (or not go) and when did
you have to be home? In today’s world on the Internet, you don’t even have to leave your house to go places you shouldn’t go and see
things you shouldn’t see.
Would you protest if someone wanted to build an adult bookstore next to your home? Of course you would! Unfortunately, wide open use
of the Internet is much worse; it’s like having an adult bookstore IN your home. Let's also not forget other content that is not suitable for
children: Gambling, Hate Mongers, Violence, etc.
The Internet is a wonderful resource with a wealth of very valuable information at your fingertips and the volume of that information
increases everyday. Sadly, it is all too easy for anyone, especially children, to accidentally or intentionally access materials that are
completely unsuitable for their viewing . “Parental controls” offered by other Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer and America
Online are simply not sufficient. They still only work using general “filters”, which means they only trap some number of sites.
As new sites with inappropriate content are created (virtually every day), parental control filters simply cannot keep pace with controlling
access to those new sites; hence, children are continually exposed. Even other “volunteer services” offer to “review and rate” acceptable
sites, and while those services can be useful in pointing the “good sites”, without the proper tool to truly control access, children are
STILL unprotected against “bad sites” when they are unsupervised.
That’s why there's OFF Limits, to give you TOTAL control and security over use of the Internet by your family. OFF Limits security is based
on a strict “permission” model, meaning that children CANNOT get access to a site unless a parent specifically grants “permission” to
access a site. No more worrying about what your child is doing when you’re not home or in their bedroom with the door closed. You can
truly allow your children to use the Internet SAFELY in an unsupervised setting. No more worrying about typing / spelling errors or
intentional attempts to access unauthorized sites. Quite simply, by using OFF Limits, if you as the parent do not allow access to a specific
site, your child can NEVER access these types of sites.
OFF Limits is also installed in various public facilities with Internet access as well - schools, public libraries, etc. to safeguard any other
places where your child could be exposed.
OFF Limits is very easy to install. There are convenient features that accelerate your setup of the system so that you can have your family
up and running SAFELY on the Internet in less than 30 minutes. There is even an option for you to remove your old browser so there are
no “loopholes” that can still be exploited by children in your absence.
You can start protecting your family while still enjoying all the benefits the Internet has to offer. With OFF Limits, you will be able to answer
the question “Do you know where your children are (on the Internet)?” with complete peace of mind that they are safe. OFF Limits is truly
the answer to your Internet security concerns.

E-Text Reader
Price: $39.95
The E-Text Reader is designed to be a reading tool. You can use it for opening up and reading existing documents in your computer or
you can cut and paste from any program on your computer. You can even insert pictures into the text. It is an “easy to use” reader that
gives you the ability to change voices, read at any speed, and even allows you to make notes into the document you are reading.
Since the interface is actually a word processor, you can select and highlight text just like you would use a highlighter in a regular book.
You can also insert any number of "bookmarks". You can save these bookmarks with the documents so the next time you open it, you can
quickly go back to a point of interest or to where you left off. In addition to highlighting and bookmarks, you can “underline” and “bold” text
so that they can be easily identified.
Everything in the E-Text Reader can be controlled with hot keys or icons on the toolbar, making it easy for everyone to use. There is also a
built-in electronic manual so that the E-Text Reader can actually read its own manual to you.
WHO IS THE E-TEXT READER DESIGNED FOR?
The E-Text Reader is designed to help those who have trouble reading or comprehending the printed word. There are thousands of
literature titles now available in electronic format. This is great, but if you have trouble reading, electronic formats will be just as difficult to
read as hardcopy.
The E-Text Reader was developed to solve this problem. This reader will read (using digital voices) the electronic version of books
(“E-Books, or E-Text”) to you. The E-Text Reader can read any document in Standard Text, MS Word, RTF (Rich Text Format) and HTML
formats.
The E-Text Reader goes beyond just reading. With E-Text Reader, you can highlight text for notes or just for points of interest. The built-in
highlighter let you select the text you want to highlight and then select the highlighter and the text will be highlighted. The multiple colors of
highlighters allow you to easily make notes in the document. E-Text Reader will also allow you to type your own notes right in the
document.
How many people can finish a lengthy novel like "War and Peace" in a single setting? Virtually no one can. That is why in E-Text Reader,
there is a capability to insert bookmarks. You can insert an unlimited number of bookmarks. These bookmarks can be saved such that
when you open the document, you can quickly navigate from bookmark to bookmark and find exactly where you left off.
FEATURES
Compatible with multiple File Formats including: Standard Text, MS Word (All Versions), HTML and Rich Text Formats
Cut and Paste “to” or “from” any program
Highlights and tracks each word as it reads
Change Foreground and Background colors
Adjustable Reading Speeds
Read One Word at a time or Continuously
Insert Bookmarks to mark locations in the text
Use the Built-in Highlighters to highlight text for studies

Bookmarks are Compatible with Text-To-Audio when creating audio books.

thousands of years from ancient to modern times. Imagine having ready access to over 1500 complete literary works in electronic form,
with more to come in the near future!
This isn’t just another one of those “literature sharing services” that only offer you a limited selection of titles at exorbitant fees using their
proprietary technology to read that same content. Nor is this just a simple “reader” that makes you cut-and-paste content into some other
software application. The E-Library from Premier Assistive is SO MUCH MORE. It is BOTH a comprehensive literary library AND a
reader.
Here is a small sample of what you can get for a small one-time fee. E-Library includes works from famous authors, philosophers and
statesmen such as (but not limited to):
Mark Twain
Charles Dickens
HG Wells
Somerset Maugham
Jack London
Aldous Huxley
Edgar Allen Poe
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Plato
Herman Melville
Works cover far-reaching subject areas such as:
1000-1800 AD Literature
19th Century Literature
20th Century Literature
Reference
Mystery
Biography
Religion
Children's Literature
Science
Classic Literature
Science Fiction
Early Eastern Literature
Short Stories
Drama
Westerns
Family Fiction
Greek and Roman History
E-Library also includes additional documents like:
U.S. Constitution
Bill of Rights
Declaration of Independence
Gettysburg Address
Even Inaugural addresses from Presidents Washington, Lincoln and Kennedy
and many, many more.
This literature has stood the test of time (in some cases, over thousands of years) and has been read by millions of people. Many of
these works are considered literary classics. Additionally, continual research is being done with available sources worldwide for more
literary gems, with which we will create additional volumes that will be made available.
E-Library will work on any version of Windows and is compatible with all Macintosh operating systems. The E-library is available in both
single-user and network versions. With in just a few minutes, the network version can be integrated into a school website, giving every
one in that school equal access to E-Library.
Each copy of E-Library comes with E-Text Reader. Note that E-Text Reader is only available for Windows.

Ultimate Talking Dictionary
Price: $39.95
The Ultimate Talking Dictionary (UTD), first and foremost, is a comprehensive dictionary. However, this is not a regular dictionary; it has a
few features that may surprise you. The UTD will read the definition of a word to you and it will use the word in a sentence so that you will
get a true understanding of the word. The total dictionary that comes with the UTD contains over 250,000 words, including slang, jargon
and historic figures, such as George Washington. The UTD also has a fully integrated thesaurus for referencing synonyms and
antonyms of all words.
How does this compare to a standard dictionary? A standard desktop dictionary contains about 110,000 words with definitions and is
about 800 pages.
Can your desktop dictionary read the definition to you? Can you make your dictionary display large print? Does your dictionary provide
you with a list of synonyms for the word you are looking for? Does your dictionary tell you if the word you are looking for is misspelled and
provide you with the correct spelling? If the answer is “NO” to any of these questions, you will immediately realize the power of the
Ultimate Talking Dictionary.
MORE THAN A DICTIONARY - INTERLINK TECHNOLOGY
The UTD is more than just a dictionary. With the UTD, you do not need to know the exact spelling of a word. You just need to know some
of the letters in the word. If you try to look up a word that you have misspelled, the “Did You Mean?” List will appear, giving you a list of
words that you may have meant to spell. Use your arrow keys to move through the list to hear each possible word to see if that is the one
you want. If you find the word you want, simply press the ENTER key to look it up. This is a powerful feature but there's more.
Now you can look up a word even if you are not sure of the word you're looking for! You can find a word without knowing the word itself.
Look up a word by only knowing what it is! For example, you want to look up a type of “cloud” but can’t think of the name of that type of
cloud. You know what the cloud looks like, the shape, the color, etc. but still only know that it is a cloud. Just enter the word “cloud” and it
will give you not only the definition of a cloud, but it will also list all the different “types of” clouds.
In another example, you can start by looking up “sky”; you can view all the parts of the sky such as “rainbow” and “clouds”. You can then
select “clouds” and then view the types of clouds. Using this approach, you can find a definition of an acorn just by looking up the word
“tree.”
Just use your arrow keys to navigate through the list of types and listen to pronunciation of the word describing the cloud that you want.
Once you hear the word you’re looking for, press the ENTER key to look up the definition of that cloud to verify that this is indeed the type of
cloud you were thinking about.
All of the words in the UTD are “interlinked” in a myriad of ways to allow cross-referencing on a variety of relational levels, so that it is easy
to find a word just by knowing a concept or related idea. Getting a definition of the word is great, but being able to easy find a word that
you don’t know is even better. Have you ever had a word at the tip of your tongue, but could not get it out? How many times have you said,
“Well, it’s one of those “things” when you couldn’t come up with the proper word?”
This is a fairly common occurrence for many individuals. They know the concept or object, but the exact word escapes them. They know
what it is and will know it when they see it or hear it, but they just need help locating it. A traditional dictionary would NEVER help you with
this. But with the UTD, you can find something just knowing a concept or idea and using the UTD with its INTERLINK technology to
navigate through word relationships until you find the exact word you are looking for.
OTHER MAJOR FEATURES
250,000 WORDS
The UTD comes with a standard, unabridged dictionary that contains over 250,000 words. When a word definition is provided, it is
always accompanied by a sentence using the word in context for each sense / meaning of the word. It even shows you the form of the
word (i.e. noun, verb, adjective, etc.). The definitions are clearly written so that they can be understood by all age groups.
There's also an "abridged version" of UTD that has fewer definitions than the unabridged version by eliminating slang, jargon and
vocabulary that may be too complex or unsuitable for younger users. Both versions are available to schools.
SPELLING
Have you ever tried to look up a word, but can’t find it because you have misspelled it? The UTD takes care of that for you. If you misspell
a word, the UTD will “predict” the word you are trying to spell and present you with a list of potential matches to the word you are looking
for. Once you “select” the one you want from the list of possible matches, the UTD will read the word you have selected to you, so you can
be sure that that indeed is the word you want and the UTD will then retrieve and display the definition to you.
READING
The UTD will read the definitions to you so that you can hear the meaning of a word, as well as, how to use it in a sentence. It can also
highlight the word on the screen as it reads. Both the “synonym” list and the “word prediction” list speak, so all you need to do is click on
a word and it will be read to you.
POWER SEARCH
If you do not know how to spell a word, but know part of the word, you can do a “power search”. A “power search” will provide a list of all
the words that contain that sequence of letters. Listen to the list and when you hear the one you want, simply click on it to select and hear
it read to you.
THESAURUS
Until now, dictionaries and thesauruses have almost always been separate books / documents. Not with the UTD. The UTD has a
built-in thesaurus and will automatically look up alternative words “synonyms” and "antonyms" every time you search a word. If you want
to hear a definition of a synonym, just double-click it.
HOTKEY WORD LOOKUP
Definitions are only a key press away. The UTD will work with virtually any program. To look up a word, all you have to do is highlight it in
your current application (i.e. email, word processing, Internet), press the F11 key and almost instantly you have the definition of the word
being read to you. You can setup the UTD so that it automatically reads a definition to you.
You also have access to a dictionary that does not require you to stop what you are doing just to go elsewhere to lookup the meaning /
synonyms / antonyms of a word. This works great while surfing the Internet. Just highlight the word and press the F11 key. It is that
simple.
ZOOM
In order squeeze the maximum number of words into a dictionary, many publishers often print dictionaries using smaller fonts than a
person would typically find in a newspaper, magazine or book. The UTD can be made into a large print dictionary without any reduction of
its total contents. The “zoom” feature allows you to enlarge the print up to 400% of its original size to meet your online viewing needs - all
this while NOT reducing the number of words in the UTD.
WORD HISTORY
The UTD keeps a current “word session history”. Have you ever used a dictionary and you see a definition and it tells you to look up
another word, or it gives you a definition that requires you to look up more words to understand that definition? The UTD keeps a history
of all the words you look up in a particular online session so that you can easily go back to the previous word just by clicking on the
“Back” button. It is just like using a web browser.
ACCESSIBILITY
The UTD is designed to work with screen readers and screen magnifiers. The voice can be “turned off” so that it will not interfere with a
screen reader voice. After all, if you already have a screen reader, you do not need another program that talks. The UTD can also be
used with just simple keyboard commands and does not require the use of a mouse.
ANTONYM SUPPORT
The UTD has a very robust antonym support. The antonym support is very powerful because it matches up the correct antonym with the
correct sense of a word. It will also use it in a sentence so that you will understand how that antonym could be used in context.

Premier CD/DVD Creator
Price: $59.95
While Premier CD/DVD Creator appears to be like many other CD burning software, if you use screen reading software, you will be able
to really HEAR the difference immediately! This is the first CD/DVD burning software that is designed to work with a screen reader and is
now the most Section 508-compliant CD burning software in the market.
For many visually impaired users, while individual “screens” may be accessible, once you select a button or other function, the user often
loses tracking of the progress or status of a task because the screen reader cannot tell them what is happening. Premier CD/DVD
Creator takes care of all of that. With the Premier Assistive CD/DVD burning software, you always know what it is doing as it is doing it.
No more guess work.
The best part is there is nothing special you need to do to get it to work with your screen reader! If you have a screen reader running, the
Premier CD/DVD software will automatically detect it, and send information through your screen reader.
The Premier CD/DVD Creator software package contains four unique tools. It comes with an Audio Ripper, Audio CD Burner, Data CD
Creator and Data DVD Burner. Each one of these products is independent of the version of screen reader being used. They do not
require any Script files or Set Files.
You never have to worry about what version of the screen reader you have. Just install it and use it. This is a must for visually impaired
computer users.
FEATURES:
AUDIO GRABBER
Rip audio directly into the output file type without going through a conversion process, keeping the fidelity as close to the original as
possible

Talking Checkbook
Price: $59.95
The Talking Checkbook is designed to make account management and check writing truly accessible. It is designed not only for
individuals who find it difficult to write in small areas and for those who find simple math difficult, but anyone who wants an easy way to
write checks and balance accounts.. You will find using the Talking Checkbook quicker and much easier than manually writing
checks.
The Talking Checkbook has extensions built into it to be compatible with many screen readers. These extensions were added to provide
excellent accessibility. Also included is a check-signing template to make signing checks a breeze. Users have the option of using just
the internal voice, screen reader extensions or turn off the voice completely. Screen readers will read the information on the screen, but
sometimes that is not enough. The screen reader extension will read the information in a logical format allowing you to make sense of
the information being read.
People who have trouble with math and those who have trouble with transposing numbers can really benefit from the digital voices used
to read the information. Sometimes just hearing the number will allow you to catch your errors.
Many disabilities make it difficult to write and sign checks. The Talking Checkbook can do that for you. It can print your checks. It uses
standard printer checks, the same ones used by QuickBooks and other accounting applications. The Talking Checkbook will work with
any laser or inkjet printer. Just place the blank check in the printer, select the print button and the check will print. When it is done printing,
to sign the check, just lay the template provided with The Talking Checkbook over the and sign your name in the cutout on the
template.
Confusing terms such as “debit” and “credit” are replaced with everyday terms you are familiar with, such as “withdraws” and “deposits.”
You are either taking money out of and account or putting it in. It is that simple.
EASY INTERFACE
The Talking Checkbook has a simple interface that makes managing any bank account easy. You can use it to manage a checking,
savings or even a retirement account. Select an account and press Ctrl + B and instantly you will hear the balance of that account. If you
want detailed information about that account, you can go through the transactions one by one in descending order or you can create a
report. The reports are created in a MS Word document that gives you full access to the information. You can also export the information to
a file that can be opened up in spreadsheet programs such as Excel or Lotus, where you can create your own reports.
Printing checks is a breeze. You fill out the information just like writing a check. You only have to enter the check information once. For
example, every month you write a check to the phone company. Once you have entered the information for the phone company for the first
time, after that you can simply select it from the list and not have to enter the information every time.
To make account management easier, we have even added both a "notes" field and a "search" feature. The note feature allows you to
record additional information about a check or a deposit. The search feature helps you locate a check in your account register.

Users can control the timed intervals which range from 10 to 60 minutes in length. Text To Audio also supports bookmarking.
Text-To-Audio allows you to simply insert a bookmark ANYWHERE in a document (e.g. the beginning of a chapter). When the audio file is
created it will create a separate audio file / track for each bookmark.
MULTIPLE DOCUMENT HANDLING
Text-To-Audio allows you to select up to 20 documents to convert at one time. Each document can have its own setting and voice
selection. Text-To-Audio can use virtually any type of word processor file. It can read Microsoft Word, HTML, Rich Text and Standard ASCII
file formats. Break an E-book up into chapters and then select a different voice for each chapter to give you some variation. Readers can
preview or edit the document before the audio file is created.
The “talking word processor” feature of Text-to-Audio also works well as a proofreading tool. The combination of both audio and visual
delivery can significantly increase any reader’s comprehension!

Talking Word Processor
Price: $89.95
Talking Word Processor is an easy-to-use word processing program designed to help people who have difficulty with reading and
writing. Virtually any standard word processor file is compatible with Talking Word Processor, including the latest versions of Microsoft
Word, standard text, and rich text formats.
With the press of a single key, you can hear text as you type it. The “word repeat” feature repeats the word after it’s been typed. This lets
you know immediately if you misspell a word.
"Word Pause" is a technology unique to Talking Word Processor. This feature allows you to slow down the reading of your words without
distorting the way the words are spoken. You can increase or decrease the time between each word. This lets you hear the words at your
own pace. It’s a great feature if you or your children are learning to read or studying a new language.
“Word magnify” also tracks the word being spoken. When this option is turned on, each word is highlighted and magnified as it is spoken.
This allows you to focus on just that word. Each of these features can be turned on or off with the simple click of a mouse.

Processor to be a wonderful tool to build your word processing skills quickly!

Predictor Pro
Price: $249.95
Predictor Pro is a word prediction technology that can assist you with your writing and typing. Here’s how it works. As you type, it can
"predict" which word you want. The more you use it, the better it works, due to our "Auto Learn" features.
Predictor Pro predicts the word by both "frequency of use" and "how recently the word was used", as well as the content of the sentence.
Generally, within the first 3 characters, it will have predicted a list of potential words you may wish to use. Once a candidate word list is
displayed, you simply select the correct word, press a hotkey and it automatically completes the word or phrase directly in the document
you are creating.
To use it, just start typing and it starts predicting. If you don’t want to wait to have it learn from what you are currently typing, you can import
existing documents and Predictor Pro will learn from what you have already written. That’s right, just import an existing document and it
will learn from what you have already done.
Predictor Pro also works great for individuals who find typing physically challenging. Predict Pro technology can easily predict what they
want to write and automatically complete their typing for them. Predictor Pro can reduce the number of keystrokes by 75 percent AND
everything will be spelled correctly too.
OVER 1100 COMMONLY MISSPELLED WORDS
In addition to having thousands of correctly spelled words, research was conducted to find the most commonly misspelled words. As a
result of that research, 1181 commonly misspelled words are included in Predictor Pro. The English vocabulary is traditionally full of
words with tricky spellings. There are simple rules like “I” before “e” except after “c”, but you often run into other unusual words that don’t
follow even those rules. Now, Predictor Pro's word prediction will catch them for you.
PHONETIC WORD SUPPORT
Word prediction can now help those who spell things phonetically. For example, “fine” for the word “phone”. Additionally, Predictor Pro
allows you to easily add as many words as you need to your library. You can even adjust where they will appear on the word prediction
list.
ABRIDGED AND UNABRIDGED WORD LIBRARIES
You now have the choice of either an Abridged or Unabridged prediction list. Both versions contain about 80,000 words. The unabridged
version has most vulgar, obscene and offensive words removed. Access to the word library has been opened up so that if you want
more words removed, you can easily do it yourself.
GETTING THE RIGHT WORD EVERY TIME
A comprehensive dictionary has been integrated into Predictor Pro to support those who use word prediction. While word prediction may
read you the word, you may still not know the definition of that word. You can now find out simply by right clicking on the word list and the
definition of the highlighted word can be read to you.
A built-in dictionary is only a double-click away. You can now find the definition of any word while you are in Predictor Pro simply by
double-clicking the word. Over 250,000 definitions have been integrated, including famous people and places.

Scan and View
Price: $89.95
If you are like a lot of CCTV (Closed Circuit TV) users, you often find yourself where your CCTV is not. Scan and View solves that problem
by turning a standard scanner into a CCTV. When loaded on a laptop with a portable scanner attached, you will never be without a
CCTV.
With the push of a button, Scan and View will grab an image from your scanner and display it on your screen in 24 million vibrant colors.
Once displayed on your screen, you can use the mouse or arrow keys to move around the image. The large icons make it very easy to
navigate through the program.
Scan and View will do a few things standard CCTVs cannot do. It can rotate images 360 degrees, open and save images to your
computer, and automatically straighten the images it scanned in. So if you are looking for a low cost alternative to a CCTV, Scan and View
is the program for you!
