The BookSense DS is the first and
only book player to have a display, and not just any type of
display, an OLED display. Cutting edge technology meets assistive
technology with the BookSense DS. Includes built in radio.
While
looking like a standard MP3 player, it is capable of everything
you have come to know and love from the BookSense, including
the ability to play book from NLS, material from the Recording
for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D), MP3s, music from
iTunes (MP4), Word 2003 and 2007 document, accessible DAISY
textbooks, and more. The BookSense DS also boasts 4 GB of
built-in memory, along with an SD card slot that accepts
high-capacity memory cards for maximum storage of books
and music. The built-in accessible FM radio can even receive
reception from radio stations without the need for headphones.
On the front of the unit, the keys have spaces between them
making finding each key simple for customers who may lack
feeling in their fingers.
The OLED display is fantastic for
the classroom or students who have learning difficulties.
Teachers can use the display to see what the students are
doing, or to see what the BookSense is saying. Students with
learning difficulties will be able to follow along on the
screen when reading an accessible DAISY textbook or a document
to help reinforce the material. Students will be able to see
and hear the textbooks, and they can even adjust the rate
of how fast they read to make reading fun and easy.
The BookSense DS is the choice for educators, students,
people with neuropathy, and any blind or visually impaired
person who wants to easily access music, books, documents,
and more. Weighing in at only 0.14 pounds, the BookSense
DS is easy to carry and easy to handle.
