Lite Touch Telephone Communicator
Introducing a smart new system designed especially for deaf-blind users.
A collaboration between Blazie Engineering and Enabling Technologies has just produced the Lite Touch portable telephone communicator. It's an exciting new system designed especially for people who are deaf-blind. Lite Touch consists of three small products: the Braille Lite personal data assistant, the UltraTec SuperPrint E modified TTY, and a tiny signal detector. The products link together in seconds and operate for hours at a time on internal batteries. Braille Lite and the TTY can be separated easily and then operated by two people performing two different tasks. Highly versatile Braille Lite lies at the heart of this superb communications system. Its many uses as a talking word processor, document generator, personal data assistant, Braille-to-print translator and more are fully described on page 8. If you already own Braille Lite, simply purchase the Lite Touch upgrade. Your Braille Lite is ready to integrate - it needs no modification to function as part of Lite Touch. Telephone access for the Lite Touch user is provided through a "smart" microprocessor that enables characters sent from or received by the TTY to automatically scroll across Braille Lite's 18-cell refreshable Braille display. The little signal detector, about the size and shape of the average beeper, emits a strong vibration when your telephone detects a ring, busy signal or audible indication that the other party is speaking. Slipped into a pocket, its warning message will engage attention without occupying your hands. Lite Touch is easy to learn to use, and you get full documentation in both print and Braille.
