Pulse Data International is using AT&T's Natural Voices speech engine for use in ScannaR, a flat-bed scanner that will scan any text document and read it back in seconds. Established in 1988 and based in Christchurch, New Zealand, Pulse Data International designs and manufactures innovative technology for people who are blind and visually impaired. Pulse Data is committed to bringing the latest developments in personal information management technology to people who are blind or visually impaired including large print reading systems and Braille and speech technologies. ScannaR allows the user to read anything from letters and brochures to newspapers, reports, books or other print materials, and even save them for future reference, up to 500,000 pages of text at any time. ScannaR is available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish language versions, all of which are powered by AT&T's Natural Voices speech engines. ScannaR is not only great for the home or office it is an ideal tool for educators and students at all levels for quickly scanning and recording textbooks, worksheets, tests and exams. Because of its audio output it is suitable for environments where resources are shared among students who either have low vision or are blind.
