(PRWEB) June 3, 2004 -- In the interest of extending the companies’
longstanding relationship throughout the European market into the United States,
Dolphin Computer Access Inc., has teamed with Optelec, the North American
division of the Tieman Group, to offer blind and visually impaired computer
users fantastic deals on the Voyager series of Braille displays.
From
June 1 through September 30, 2004, Optelec is offering either the Braille
Voyager 44 or 70 cell Braille display complete with Dolphin’s Supernova reader
magnifier for the one-off price of $4,995 for the 44 cell model and $9,295 for
the 70 cell model, saving customers over 15% off each product’s suggested list
prices. The package combines the industry’s most innovative Braille display with
the world’s only combined screen reader and magnifier, in a single package.
Magnification, speech or Braille—or all three? This package gives the PC user
endless choices; so whatever the visual condition, this winning combination is
all one needs to effectively integrate screenreading access and PC usage in
educational settings, the workplace, or from the comfort of one’s
home.
“The best hardware device requires the best software partner, and
Optelec’s found such a partner in Dolphin Computer Access”, stated Larry Lewis,
Optelec’s Vice President of Blindness Sales. “The Voyager series with Supernova
Version 6 is the perfect combination for all market segments. We wanted to
create a stellar package that would be robust, stable, reliable and
useful—offering incomparable functionality with the best financial deal for the
customer. Supernova is the only software to date that allows users to select
between a screen reader, a screen magnifier and Braille output in a single
installation. Supernova 6.0 gives to those of us who are blind a superior
alternative to any other screenreader currently on the market. This software
combined with our Voyager Braille display means that blind computer users now
have more intuitive options for accessing and controlling their PCs through a
Braille display with industry standard Windows functionality effortlessly and
efficiently.”
Dan Moore, Vice President of Sales for Dolphin, said, “This
is an excellent opportunity for both our organizations to make a real difference
to the lives of blind computer users by providing a high quality, complete
package at a great price. The beauty of Supernova is that it can be networked or
run from a server and is the only screen reader that comes with support for
Windows terminal server and Citrix Metaframe environments for students who must
use a campus-wide network or employees who must interact with a company network.
This is a great deal for blind computer users, saving them nearly $1400 compared
to purchasing the products individually.”
