The BT Speak® 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:19.4pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;outline: 0px"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:inherit;color:#111111">Many people remember Deane Blazie, who started Blazie Engineering in 1987.
