  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.
