Two New Product Announcements by JBliss Imaging Systems JBliss Imaging Systems is now shipping two new Windows '95 products described below. These products are in addition to VIPinfoSoft and VIPinfoSoft Plus which were released in May, 1997. The objective of all of these products is to make reading printed and electronic documents as easy and fast as possible for users with visual impairments. ezVIP is a Windows '95 print document reading program for people who have low vision or are totally blind. It is designed for people with no computer experience and who want the simpliest possible system which can be adjusted for optimal use of their vision. It includes Xerox Textbridge OCR and AT&T Flextalk synthetic speech. The speech can be customized for the user's needs. Letter size, spacing, colors and font type can be adjusted and presentation mode can be varied (i.e., Marquee view in which one line scrolled across the screen, RSVP in which one word at a time is presented in the same location, Word Wrap in which as many lines as fit on the screen are displayed and scrolled, and Image view, which shows the actual image from the scanned document with one line at a time magnified and scrolled across the screen). After customization, ezVIP is switched to "User" mode. In "User" mode only two buttons are used to control the reading process: "Scan" and "Read". Scroll speed can be adjusted with a trackball, mouse, or trackpad. Price: $695 for software only, $2,450 for complete turnkey system.
