>From the Florida Outreach Center for the Blind: Learn About the BT SpeakR
Pocket Computer from Blazie Technologies With David Goldfield: Thursday,
March 21, 2:00 PM Eastern Time


Join us for the next workshop from the Florida Outreach Center for the Blind
to learn about the BT SpeakR from Blazie Technologies, a new pocket computer
made especially for the blind. The BT SpeakR is a compact device that uses
an eight-dot Braille keyboard along with speech output measuring 6.1 by 2.9
by 0.8 inches, about the size of a cell phone. It features applications
including an editor for writing and editing documents, a music streaming
player, scientific calculator, clock and calendar and more. The device
includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth along with an HDMI port, a USB C port and a micro
SD card slot for expanding storage. We'll provide a demonstration of the
product and also answer your questions.

Many people remember Deane Blazie, who started Blazie Engineering in 1987.
Blazie Engineering produced the Braille 'n Speak, a compact computer with a
Braille keyboard which became one of the most popular products in the
blindness technology landscape. Today, Deane's new company, Blazie
Technologies, has released a new product for the twenty-first century with
similar features and commands that made the Braille 'n Speak such an
intuitive and easy to use product.
