RECORDING FOR THE BLIND & DYSLEXIC® (RFB&D®) AND HUMANWARE SUPPORT NEW
PORTABLE PLAYERS FOR AUDIOPLUS® BOOKS

Version française disponible à :
www.humanware.ca/web/fr/NewsGetFile.asp?file=20070523.html

Princeton, New Jersey and Longueuil, Quebec, May 23, 2007

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic® (RFB&D®), America's educational library 
of recorded textbooks for people unable to read print due to a visual or 
perceptual disability, and HumanWare, the leader in assistive

technology for vision, are pleased to announce that the HumanWare family of 
BrailleNote mPower, PK and Maestro accessible PDA's will have the ability to

play AudioPlus recorded books from RFB&D as of early
June 2007.

HumanWare Canada has long been a supplier of the Victor Reader Family of 
digital audio book players to RFB&D's members, all of whom have print 
disabilities. When played on the HumanWare Victor Reader digital
players, AudioPlus recorded books can be navigated much like a print book, 
allowing the reader to move from chapter to chapter, section to section or 
jump directly to any page.

"RFB&D's AudioPlus books are an essential learning tool for students and an 
important information source for professionals," says Stephanie Turner, 
RFB&D Product Manager of Market & Product Initiatives. "With
Victor Reader audiobook players, and now the addition of the HumanWare 
portable PDA products, our members have an even wider variety of tools they 
can use to access our books."

"Since 2001, Victor Reader CD-based talking book players have benefited

RFB&D members with an enhanced reading experience for the special navigable 
AudioPlus books," says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager at 
HumanWare. "We are excited to now have the Victor Reader technology 
available on our mPower, PK, and Maestro PDA products so
these already highly functional devices can now also be used to listen to 
RFB&D's books."

With the recent addition of tools such as the Oxford Concise Dictionary and 
the Nemeth tutorial, the BrailleNote mPower has become the braille notetaker

of choice in the educational market. The Maestro PDA, in addition to its 
accessible suite of Windows PDA applications, also
hosts the very popular Trekker GPS navigation tool to help people who are 
blind navigate independently in their everyday travels.

RFB&D will provide and support the UAK (User Authorization Key) to enable 
playback of AudioPlus books. Users will be required to purchase the 
BrailleNote or Maestro devices directly from HumanWare or through
an authorized dealer.

About RFB&D

RFB&D serves more than 146,000 students from kindergarten through graduate 
school and beyond with its one-of-a-kind collection of digitally recorded 
educational titles. RFB&D's AudioPlus textbooks on
CD provide unprecedented navigation, ease of use and proven effectiveness as

learning tools for students with print disabilities.

Students rely on RFB&D's unique accommodation to access the printed page 
and to achieve educational success. All of RFB&D's accessible titles are 
recorded by more than 7,000 volunteers working in 29 RFB&D
recording studios nationwide.
