ANNOUNCEMENT  FROM  HUMANWARE
Longueil, Quebec, May 27, 2009 - HumanWare is now shipping the new 
SmartView Versa and Versa+ handheld electronic magnifiers. These two 
new additions to HumanWare's low vision product line have large 4.3" 
wide screens, 5x to 15x magnification and multiple enhanced contrast 
modes to make reading easier.

The SmartView Versa and Versa + were instant hits when they were 
unveiled at the CSUN conference last March. In fact, several clients 
had already placed their orders and were waiting for them to become available.

People suffering from low vision due to macular degeneration, 
glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy or another eye condition can use the 
SmartView Versa to magnify words and images. The portable device can 
be carried anywhere to enlarge text in newspapers and magazines, on 
pill bottles and food packaging, or anywhere things are too small to read.

Highly portable, the Versa and Versa+ provide access to a wide array 
of content, thereby limiting the need for cumbersome large print 
documents. There are also numerous features that can be applied in a 
school setting: facilitate access to audio learning, learning through 
video in class and at home, increase in-class attention and act as a 
study aid, provide library of study materials and notes.

Two models are available. The Versa is lightweight with a flip out 
handle and provides clear undistorted magnification. The Versa+ has 
all the basic magnification functions as well as the ability to save 
pictures, make voice recordings, listen to music and watch videos. 
The SmartView Versa+ transcends the definition of a handheld 
electronic magnifier with the addition of these unique multimedia features.

The SmartView Versa+ uses a standard SD memory card to save images 
captured with the magnifier or store music and video files 
transferred from a computer. Saved images can be viewed on the Versa+ 
in full color. You can easily zoom in the image or pan around the 
image to find the details that interest you.
