EasyConverter v4 - unlocking print, for learning disabled and visually impaired students
1st Feb, 2009
Dolphin Computer Access last week officially launched EasyConverter version 4.01 at ATIA 2009 in Florida - a software tool with the specific aim of unlocking the printed word for learning disabled readers, dyslexic and visually impaired Americans.
FACT:
- 2.9 million school children in the US are classified as having a specific learning disability
- 27% of children with learning disabilities drop out of high school
- 8.3 million Americans have a visual impairment
SOLUTION:
- Students with learning disabilities show a 38% increase in content acquisition, when learning with digital talking books (DAISY).
The new edition of Dolphin's EasyConverter offers educational professionals even greater flexibility and inbuilt expertise in delivering the widest range of alternative formats. Make MP3, DAISY digital talking books, large print and Braille, all from one easy to use tool - EasyConverter.
Support for Kurzweil or Kesi files
As well as supporting Word, PDF, Nimas, text files, HTML and scanned paper, EasyConverter version 4 now also allows users to input Kurzweil files. 'Kesi' support enables colleges to easily integrate EasyConverter into their existing processes and provisions. Alternatively version 4 now also caters for colleges that have a history or back catalogue of files scanned with Kurzweil, but that are now looking to output to a wide range of alternative formats for a broader range of reading needs.
DAISY 3 Support
EasyConverter now allows users to create the very latest DAISY 3 books according to the Daisy 3 standard.
Picture files
EasyConverter version 4 can now input one or several image files including JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIF and TIFF formats and is therefore ideal for organizations that have previously scanned books but saved them as image files.
Six key Braille input
Users who prefer to edit their Braille file using six key Braille input are now able to do so directly inside EasyConverter’s Braille previewer. Simply use the F, D, S, J, K and L keys as the six Braille dots.
Scanning is now 35% Faster!
Scanning in multiple pages through an automatic paper feeder is now at least 35% faster.
