JBliss Imaging Systems Announces New VIPinfoSoft Version Release We are pleased to announce that Version 2.1 for both VIPinfoSoft and VIPinfoSoft Plus is now released. VIPinfoSoft and VIPinfoSoft Plus Software programs are designed to be used by people with low vision or by blind people. They integrate OCR and synthetic speech technologies together with visual presentations of text to optimize the speed and ease of reading printed and electronic documents. The programs are highly adjustable for customization to the user's vision. VIPinfoSoft Plus adds the features of e-mail, memo editor, address book, autodial, and printing to VIPinfoSoft. Version 2.1 adds the following great new features to both VIPinfoSoft and VIPinfoSoft Plus: * Books on CD: These books can be read in any of VIPinfoSoft's Views (i.e., Marquee, RSVP, Word Wrap, and Image). As usual, speech can be turned on in the RSVP and Word Wrap Views. We have prepared over 600 books (e.g., including "Tale of Two Cities", "20,000 Leagues under the Sea", "Huck Finn", and "Dracula") and stored them on a single CD! This is a very exciting feature, providing a technology that revolutionizes "Talking Books"! At present, only CDs that have been prepared by us are readable. We have indexed this first CD by dividing the books into sections and some sections into subsections. This makes it easy to go to a particular place in each book. There is also a "Bookmark" function so places can be saved for easy return. The purchase price of this first CD, together with the indexes on a 3.5" floppy, is $49.95. In addition, Version 2.1 has many other improvements and refinements, including a method for obtaining grade 2 braille printout from scanned and keyed-in files, the ability to save files to 3.5" floppy, and templates for specifying the sections of a page to be read and the order in which they are read. The price for VIPinfoSoft is $795 and for VIPinfoSoft Plus is $995. A demo CD, which is a full program that lasts for 30 days, is available for $25 including shipping and handling. (The $25 is deductible from the purchase price.) To order, contact: JBliss Imaging Systems 650 Saratoga Ave. San Jose, CA 95129 888/452-5477 408/246-5783 info@JBliss.com http://www.JBliss.com
