 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.
