 Orbit Research Introduces iBill Talking Banknote Identifier

 Priced at $99, the iBill is a breakthrough in independent living for the 
 blind and visually impaired

 WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbit Research today announced 
 the introduction of the iBill, the world's first affordable Talking 
 Banknote Identifier for the blind and the visually impaired. Priced at 
 $99, the 1.5 ounce, pager-sized iBill represents a breakthrough in 
 enabling the blind and the visually impaired community achieve 
 independence in the everyday necessity of using paper currency, which 
 sighted people take for granted. At about a third of the cost of existing 
 devices, the iBill offers unrivaled features, ease of use and accuracy of 
 identification.

 The iBill is an exceptionally convenient and affordable solution that can 
 be used by each and every blind or visually impaired individual. Measuring
 just 3 inches by 1.6 inches by 0.7 inches, the ultra-slim and compact 
 "key-fob" design provides the ultimate in convenience, allowing it to be 
 carried unobtrusively in a pocket, purse, clipped to the belt or attached 
 to a keychain or lanyard. Among the features that set it apart from other 
 such devices are the extremely high accuracy (better than 99.9%) and the 
 near-instantaneous speed (less than one second in most cases) with which 
 it identifies banknotes.

 The iBill is designed with the sole purpose of providing the simplest, 
 fastest and most accurate means to identify U.S. banknotes. Its unique 
 ergonomic design permits easy and intuitive use without the need for any 
 training or practice. Upon insertion of a banknote into the device, its 
 denomination is identified at the press of a button. Based on the user's 
 preference, the denomination is announced by a clear and natural voice, or

 by tone or vibration for privacy. The unit identifies all U.S. banknotes 
 in circulation and recognizes them in any orientation. Banknotes in poor 
 physical condition are indicated as unidentifiable and are not misread. 
 The unit is also upgradeable to recognize new banknote designs.

 The iBill achieves all of this while operating on a single, commonly 
 available AAA battery which lasts for over a year with typical use. Its 
 durable construction and sealed design ensure trouble-free use. The unit 
 is backed by a one-year warranty from Orbit Research, and toll-free 
 customer support.

 "Orbit Research has once again demonstrated its commitment to the 
 development of breakthrough technology and products that make a direct and

 measurably positive impact to the daily lives of the community we serve," 
 said Michael Nolan, President of Orbit Research.

 Orbit Research has filed patents on the technologies employed in the 
 iBill, which enable its groundbreaking compactness, performance and 
 features.

 Samples of the iBill are available for evaluation now and Orbit Research 
 is accepting orders.

 Specializing in the development and manufacture of products for people 
 with disabilities, Orbit Research's mission is to employ cutting-edge 
 technology to develop innovative and affordable products that are 
 essential for an independent and productive lifestyle.
