NEWSWIRE:

 

For the millions of Americans with vision loss looking for a simple, convenient 
way to take notes at work, at school, or at home, the American Foundation for 
the Blind (AFB) has launched AccessNoteT, a specialized notetaker for the 
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. In addition to being a low-cost alternative to 
traditional notetakers, AccessNote allows users to combine efficient notetaking 
with many other features and functions of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. 
This allows people who are blind or visually impaired to use the same popular 
devices that their sighted peers are using in classroom or business settings.

 

This is the first notetaking app developed and designed specifically for users 
with vision loss. What sets the AccessNote apart includes: 

·        Seamless Navigation. Customized keyboard commands make notetaking more 
intuitive and productive than ever before, including quick access to important 
features like Search All Notes, Search Within a Note, as well as several 
navigation options. 

·        Automatic Saving. With an automatic save on every few keystrokes, 
notes will never be lost. 

·        Cursor tracking. When navigating among multiple sets of notes, users 
can always pick up right where they left off. 

·        Unparalleled Simplicity. With a clutter-free interface, users can 
create, read, find, and sync, making it easier to spend more time with actual 
content and less time with tools. 

·        DropBox Integration. All notes, always on hand. DropBox keeps 
AccessNote in sync with the user's desktop (and other devices) so their notes 
are always available and backed up. 

·        Compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. AccessNote is optimized for 
efficiency with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and for today's wireless braille 
displays.
