Premier-Programming Software

The Talking Checkbook is an application designed to make account management and check writing accessible not only to people who have varying disabilities, but anyone who wants an easy way to write checks and balance accounts.
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 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.

Ultimate Talking Dictionary
"Always Having a Dictionary and Thesaurus a Keystroke Away"

The Ultimate Talking Dictionary (UTD), first and foremost, is a comprehensive, unabridged 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 of all words.

 How does this compare to a standard dictionary? Well, a standard desktop dictionary contains about 110,000 words with definitions and is about 800 pages.  However, the UTD also includes sentences using each defined word in context, for every “sense (meaning)” of the word.  Can your desktop dictionary read the definition to you?  Can you make your dictionary into 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.

System Requirements

The UTD has a small footprint relative to the amount of data it contains.
Operating System:        Windows 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP Home and Pro
Memory:                         64 MB of Ram
Disk space:                     34 MB
Sound Card:                   Standard Sound card
Speakers:                        Standard Speakers
CD Rom Drive               4X Faster
Keyboard:                       Standard Keyboard
VGA Monitor:                SVGA Monitor with the screen resolutions set at 800x600 or higher.

Scan and Read Pro© V6.0
"Combined Advantages of Scanning and Reading Plus Word Prediction"

If you find reading difficult, Scan and Read Pro© will make reading easy and enjoyable. Scan & Read Pro© changes printed text into understandable sound. The program helps you in reading and comprehension by highlighting each word as it's read aloud. Scan & Read Pro's© voice can also be turned off if you prefer to focus on the visual input only.
Its easy-to-use graphical interface lets you change the appearance of the page to fit your individual needs, using your strengths to overcome any reading weaknesses. If you have trouble reading text on computer screens, Scan & Read Pro© can change the spacing between words, lines, or even characters so you can see everything clearly. There is no limit to the amount of space you may insert between words. Once you are done reading your document, the original format is easily regained if so desired.
Scan & Read Pro© offers some unique and useful features such as supporting up to 12 different languages, advanced settings making customization easy, and support for automatic document feeders available on high-end scanners. Most voice synthesizers will read parts of words producing a somewhat choppy reading due to the fact that when a word is broken or hyphened across multiple lines, it does not produce continuous speech when reading each word segment separately. Scan & Read Pro© has a special technique for de-hyphenating words so that any speech syntheses will produce smooth vocalization.

E-Text Reader

Outline / Highlight Extraction Features

Special attention was given to the highlight colors used for highlighting. These unique colors will not interfere with the background colors added to documents by other programs. If you have a document with a background color and then you add highlighting to the document, our highlight extraction technology can distinguish the difference between the highlighted text and foreground / background colors. Often times, documents contain formatting and images. Our new extraction technology will include all images and text formatting, even bullets, numbering, hyperlinks, indentation, font size and type.

Highlight with four different colors: Blue, Green, Pink and Yellow
“Customized” Extraction based on a single color or all the colors of the highlighted information.
Single click to change highlight color
Document format retention. Format of the extracted information is retained during extraction including graphics that are part of the highlighted text
Selectable reading. Read entire document, just the highlighted information, or just one highlight color.
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. We have also built-in the electronic manual so that the E-Text Reader can actually read its own manual to you.

E-Text Reader 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.
Reading pace. Read one word at a time or continuously.
Bookmarks. Insert bookmarks to mark locations in the text.
Highlighting features. Use the built in highlighters to highlight text for studies.
Change Fonts. You can change the print fonts. The default is Arial, but you can change it to any font on your computer.
Zoom. No more fine print. Magnify the document up to 4X or change the font size to 48 Point.
Audio books. Bookmarks are compatible with our Text To Audio product when creating audio books.

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. To solve this problem, we developed the E-Text Reader. 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 we have given you the ability 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.

Talking Grammar Check

Take the Grammar Check Challenge by opening any document in Microsoft Word. When you are finished correcting the document, run the same document through the Talking Grammar Check in the Talking Word Processor to see the items Microsoft Word missed. The Talking Grammar Check does more than look for errors. When it finds an error, it will read to you the grammatical rule and provide you with suggestions. Most people can catch their errors when they hear them, which is why the Talking Grammar Check will read the suggestion to you when you click on it. When you hear the correct suggestion, all you need to do is select the change button. “It has never been easier to use your ears to proofread!” says Dr. Steve Timmer.

The Grammar Check is optimized for struggling writers. Struggling writers make different mistakes than accomplished writers. They need something that will question their writing, offer suggestions, and give them the reason why it is being questioned. It is like having your own English tutor!

The Talking Grammar Check can be customized to meet individual needs. It has 29 different categories that users can enable or disable.

Syntax errors
Misused words
Number agreement
Verb tense
Possessives

Talking Word Processor© is an easy-to-use word processing program designed to help people who have difficulty with reading and writing. We wanted to design a word processor that was easy to use as well as having speech capabilities.

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.

Even if you are just learning word processing for the first time, you will find the powerful, yet easy-to-use features of The Talking Word Processor to be a wonderful tool to build your word processing skills quickly!!!

Create and edit Microsoft Word documents without having to purchase Microsoft Word. The Talking Word Processor has many of the same features that you will find in Microsoft Word, but without the price.

Proofread and learn by listening. The Talking Word Processor will read virtually any document on your computer. You can even cut and paste from the Internet. You will be surprised to see how many more errors you catch with your ears.

To use the built-in 250,000-word dictionary, just double-click on a word and the definition of that word will open. Try to do that in Word Perfect or Microsoft Word. This dictionary could not be easier.

Talking Spell Check: The built-in spell check is like most other spell checkers, except that this one will read the words to you. Most people will know the right word when they hear it.

"Word Pause" is a new 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.

Fully functioning talking word processor
