Hi Alex,
More details will be made available soon. The BrailleNote will
not need
to be sent off anywhere for the new AudioPlus support to be
added.

Any word on exactly how the BNs will do this--will we need to
send the unit anywhere?
Have a great day,
Alex

Princeton, New Jersey and Longueuil, Quebec, May 23, 2007
Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic® (RFB&D®), America's
educational library
of recorded textbooks for people unable to read print due to a
visual or
perceptual disability, and HumanWare, the leader in assistive
technology
for vision, are pleased to announce that the HumanWare family of
BrailleNote mPower, PK and Maestro accessible PDA's will have the
ability
to play AudioPlus recorded books from RFB&D as of early June
2007.
HumanWare Canada has long been a supplier of the Victor Reader
Family of
digital audio book players to RFB&D's members, all of whom have
print
disabilities. When played on the HumanWare Victor Reader digital
players,
AudioPlus recorded books can be navigated much like a print book,
allowing
the reader to move from chapter to chapter, section to section or
jump
directly to any page.
"RFB&D's AudioPlus books are an essential learning tool for
students and an
important information source for professionals," says Stephanie
Turner,
RFB&D Product Manager of Market & Product Initiatives. "With
Victor Reader
audiobook players, and now the addition of the HumanWare portable
PDA
products, our members have an even wider variety of tools they
can use to
access our books."
"Since 2001, Victor Reader CD-based talking book players have
benefited
RFB&D members with an enhanced reading experience for the special
navigable
AudioPlus books," says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product
Manager at
HumanWare. "We are excited to now have the Victor Reader
technology
available on our mPower, PK, and Maestro PDA products so these
already
highly functional devices can now also be used to listen to
RFB&D's books."
With the recent addition of tools such as the Oxford Concise
Dictionary and
the Nemeth tutorial, the BrailleNote mPower has become the
braille
notetaker of choice in the educational market. The Maestro PDA,
in addition
to its accessible suite of Windows PDA applications, also hosts
the very
popular Trekker GPS navigation tool to help people who are blind
navigate
independently in their everyday travels.
RFB&D will provide and support the UAK (User Authorization Key)
to enable
playback of AudioPlus books. Users will be required to purchase
the
BrailleNote or Maestro devices directly from HumanWare or through
an
authorized dealer.
