HumanWare - Maestro 2.1 now available:
Blind people can now surf the Web from the palm of their hand!
Longueuil, February 5, 2008 -- HumanWare is proud to announce the
release of the new version of Maestro, expanding the capabilities of the
first off-the-shelf accessible PDA. Visually impaired can now surf the
Web from the palm of their hands and in a 100% accessible environment.
Maestro consists of a standard PDA (handheld computer) with a tactile
overlay allowing people to use commands and enter data intuitively by
touch. The information is sent to the user in audio form using integrated
voice synthesis. Maestro users can therefore organize their
appointments and address books, consult and edit text documents,
record voice notes, read books, organize e-mail, listen to music and even
get GPS guidance with the Trekker option... all in the palm of their hand.
As with other Maestro applications, the Web browser offers a set of
features maximized for an efficient navigation experience while on the
go. Through a robust engine, our clients can quickly navigate links,
headings, frames, and fill out forms on web pages. They can enjoy using
familiar screen reader commands and read pages as if they were on a
desktop computer. The Maestro built-in Wi-Fi with simple wizard makes it
easier to find and connect to preferred networks.
"As we promised over the last year, we now bring the extra functionalities
of Maestro to our existing and future loyal users," said Lucia Gomez,
Product Manager for Maestro and Trekker. "With this new version,
Maestro offers the applications currently available in a Notetaker, at a
fraction of the price and size."
Maestro can be complemented with Trekker, the most popular GPS
orientation tool for visually impaired and blind people. With Trekker,
users can pinpoint exactly where they are, learn about area attractions,
and find out how to reach specific destinations. As both applications
are compatible with each other, Trekker users can install Maestro on
their system, and Maestro users can install Trekker.
Maestro 2.1 is now available for free upgrade on our Web site. A detailed
list of the new features is also available at the following address:
