Freedom Scientific Releases SARAT 9.0 with New Features for Blind and Low
Vision Users
(St. Petersburg, Florida - August 14, 2008) Freedom Scientific today released
their newest version of the SARA scanning and reading appliance, including
numerous enhancements that make the reading experience more enjoyable for both
blind and low vision users.
"SARA 9.0 now features built-in braille support, making the SARA a dynamic
reading solution for blind and deaf-blind users," said Dusty Voorhees, Senior
Product Manager. "Just connect a portable braille display - such as a Focus or
PAC MateT Braille Display - to the SARA's USB and any scanned document can be
read in braille.
"Low vision users have long appreciated that they can connect the SARA to a
monitor for large print access that complements the speech. SARA 9.0 adds new
features that let these users control how information is both displayed and
read, including 35 new text and background color combinations and options to
customize how words are highlighted on the screen as they are spoken.
"SARA 9.0 is an extremely versatile and easy to use reading solution for people
with any degree of visual impairment."
Other new features in SARA 9.0 include:
a.. Updated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines that provide users
with the latest in available OCR technology
b.. BuckScan mode to identify U.S. and Canadian paper currency to determine
bill denominations
c.. RealSpeak® Solo Direct to provide faster response in menu and document
navigation
d.. Contrast Adjustment to improve accuracy when scanning low-contrast
documents
To learn more about all the features of the SARA and to listen to the wide
array of the human-sounding SARA voices, go to SARA Scanning and Reading
Appliance on the Freedom Scientific Web site.
Existing SARA customers can easily update to SARA 9.0. Contact your local
dealer or Freedom Scientific to obtain the update DVD.
