- TeleSensory announces the latest advances in its Vert family of
- speech-based screen reading programs for the MS-DOS computing world. The
- Vert family including Vert Plus, Personal Vert and Soft Vert bring new and
- innovative features to help visually impaired computer users access
- off-the-shelf software. The new features include keyboard and
- screen-driven macros; Vert Assistant, a resident system utility; and
- special additions for Lotus 1-2-3 and mainframe connectivity.
-
- With all Vert products, customizing any off-the-shelf software is simple.
- Over the years, Vert has acquired a collection of proven features that are
- now linked together using Vert's powerful macro system to define a single
- keystroke to represent a sequence of Vert commands or operations. With
- this new macro system, users can design their own screen reading commands
- to shorten the number of keystrokes. To further extend the usefulness of
- macros, an involuntary screen change can call a user-defined macro to read
- a portion or the entire screen automatically.
-
- Vert Assistant produces a menu of options with a single keystroke. This
- makes loading, saving and modifying Vert parameters possible from within
- any PC application. Upon exiting Vert Assistant, the system returns to the
- application program. An interactive help system verbally describes the
- functions of each Vert command.
-
- Soft Vert, an economical software-only version of Vert, now works with
- BrailleMate, a one-pound pocket computer that can serve as a speech
- synthesizer and braille keyboard to the PC.
