DigiCite
DigiCite is an electronic device that converts LED displays to speech output. It is a compact machine-vision system that continuously monitors and captures images of digital displays, such as alphanumeric LEDs. Whenever the display changes, DigiCite converts the display image to text and provides notification using recorded speech or other, optional outputs. DigiCite works with telephone consoles, measurement, recording and test equipment, and many other electronic devices. DigiCite can be used with several existing appliances in the workplace and home, as opposed to a number of specialized or retrofitted units for each application. Since digitized speech, rather than voice synthesis, is used to read out numeric display values, DigiCite can accomodate any language, and even several languages, within a single unit.

Responder
Responder is a machine-vision-based automated monitoring system that provides a continuous watch on electronic equipment, such as alarm panels, and provides notification via speech output or other, optional means. Responder "watches" your existing equipment, such as banks of alarm panels, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. When an event occurs, such as a specific type of alarm takes place, Responder provides corresponding event notification using recorded and/or synthetic speech over loudspeakers, public address systems and/or telephone systems and modems. Responder also maintains a complete log of all events, which aids in verifying operational status of the equipment being monitored. Responder runs on IBM-compatible PC running Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 4.

Responder M1
The standard Responder system, consisting of a single computer and from 1 to 3 monochrome (black & white) digital cameras. The Responder M1 provides speech enabled automated monitoring suitable for most environments where notification is required only for on/off type alarms and/or events.

Responder C1
This is the colour Responder system, which offers the same capabilities as the M1, plus it can provide notification of alarms and/or events by differentiating between colours (e.g., green, yellow, red situations). Compusult also provide combinations of Responder M1 and C1 systems networked together to provide a complete automated monitoring solution.

ScanTell
Scantell identifies and speaks the names of bar-coded products, thus allowing people who are visually impaired or have reading problems to easily and accurately identify retail products and personal items in their homes with no assistance from others. The items are then located in a cross-referenced, relational database. The description of each successfully identified item is output using voice synthesizer software and hardware. ScanTELL is currently available for Windows 95 and MS-DOS based desktop, notebook, and palmtop PCs. Windows 95 version minimal requirements - 16MB of RAM, Pentium 90 processor, 20 MB of hard disk space, bar code scanner with keyboard wedge interface, CD-ROM, a SoundBlaster 16 compatible sound card, and a compatible speech synthesizer. (The current synthesizers completely compatible with ScanTELL are AcuVoice and SounText, both available through Compusult.). AcuVoice requires an additional 300MB of hard disk space for installation. Please note, it can also run directly from CD-ROM if space is limited but this will slightly reduce the speed of ScanTELL. MS-DOS version minimal requirements - 640 KB of RAM, 5MB of hard disk space, and serial and parallel ports. A bar-code scanner with a serial interface and a voice synthesizer and a compatible sound card are also required.

ScanTell Desktop
ScanTELL software and database. Desktop or handheld bar code scanner. Internal or external voice synthesizer. Options: wireless scanner (not recommend for a legally blind person), voice transmitter, bar code printer.

ScanTell Notebook
ScanTELL software and database. Handheld bar code scanner. External voice synthesizer (parallel port or PCMCIA slot connection). Battery or A/C powered.

The serial interface version is also compatible with Compusult's DigiCite and Responder systems.

Vindicator Wired
Detects voltage on/off conditions from an electrical panel or other device and provides notification of these changes using digitized speech, large format LED displays or encoded output via a serial interface to a computer system. Vindicator Wired is available in 8, 16 and 40 line versions, one line for each external input. You can choose between a speech-enabled standalone unit or one that provides a serial interface to computer systems, LED display systems or other electronic equipment. The serial interface version is also compatible with Compusult's DigiCite and Responder systems.

Vindicator RF Switch
Detects when equipment, switches or indicators are on and off and transmits notification via radio frequency to a receiving unit for output using audible tones and large LEDs or digitized speech. Vindicator RF is used to identify events in locations away from an individual's general work area and requires no external wiring between locations. Vindicator RF is available in single or multiple transmitter/receiver versions.

Vindicator Button
Detects when an LED or VFD display indicator turns on and off and provides notification of these changes using audible tones. Each Vindicator Button is a small, standalone device designed to fit over a single electronic indicator to provide audible output as an alternative to a visual display. Vindicator buttons are available with various audible tones to help identify different indicators and events.

i.d.mate II
Picture
i.d. mate II is a portable, electronic device that aids a blind or visually impaired individual with the identification of items using the product's bar code or UPC. Using digital voice recording and text-to-speech technologies, the product allows users to access a large database of product descriptions, along with a tailored set of their own recorded voice messages. i.d. mate II can be used to quickly identify any product or item that is not easily recognized by means of the other senses, including: cans, jars, boxes, bottles, clothing, playing cards, prescription drugs, compact discs, albums, cassette tapes, diskettes, books, important papers or file folders etc. Bar codes are already placed on virtually every product sold in stores today. And, i.d. mate II already contains a huge database of items including: grocery, spirits, pharmacy, movies, music and much more. As an added benefit, many items in this database include extended package details, including: nutritional information, ingredients, warnings, instructions package size, and miscellaneous package details. This bar code data, which is stored on the memory card, is growing every day, and database updates are available online or on a CD ROM. Also, the user can load their own specialized database. In addition, i.d. mate II allows the user to associate any number of recorded voice messages with a bar code that is scanned. If no description is found in its database, the user is prompted to record their own voice description. When that bar code is scanned in the future, the recorded descriptions are played back.

i.d. mate II uses a special omni-directional bar code scanner. There is no need for the user to know the exact location of the bar code label. The user simply rotates the scanner around the product to get a quick, reliable read. The scanner can read the bar code in any direction every time. The entire unit weighs less than two pounds and is stored in a convenient carrying case that can be worn on a belt or over the shoulder. A specialized case for mobile employees and vendors is also available. The unit is supplied with a flash memory card. This card provides plenty of record time in addition to the already installed UPC database. The cards are removable and can be upgraded to higher memory capacities up to 1 gigabyte. Also, the data is easily backed up to a PC using a USB memory card reader. In addition to identification of products, i.d. mate II can be used as a digital memo recorder. The user can record, play, and erase any number of voice memos. The i.d. mate II is completely portable and battery operated. The unit has a high-capacity, rechargeable battery pack that lasts all day before needing to be recharged. The device is also fully operational when plugged into a standard AC wall outlet.

Loquendo TTS (Text to Speech)
Loquendo TTS software provides a lifelike voice for the dynamic data and prompts in voice applications. Loquendo TTS is an ever-increasing family of expressive lifelike voices and personas from around the world. Currently ships in 16 languages and 36 voices. For many of the languages, both female and male voices are available. It is designed for use in any kind of voice application including highly intensive TTS applications (e.g. Voice Portals). Standard APIs allow easy integration into the user's platform and service environments. The multi-threaded, multi-process architecture supports deployment in any high performance software architecture. This engine can contemporarily synthesize different languages and voices, switching between them at any time, on any channel. Its Mixed Language Capability enables foreign words to be pronounced correctly without changing the current voice and language. The User Dictionary makes sure that any specialized vocabulary terms, abbreviations, acronyms and even regional pronunciation differences sound just like the developer intends them to. The characteristics of each voice (i.e. pitch, speaking rate and volume) can be fine-tuned and controlled. Special formats such as phone numbers, currencies and e-mail headers are read correctly. It has a built-in language detector that automatically identifies the language in any text.

You can also easily add new items. Scan And Say™ is easy to customize. Change a product's description to whatever you want to hear. Scan And Say™ can even be used to create and print or read aloud a shopping list! If an item does not already have a barcode, use one of the 500 pre-printed barcodes provided with Scan And Say™. Scan And Say™ can even be used to Time Stamp items. This is especially helpful for remembering the last time a medication was taken, or to help track when a dairy item expires. The barcode scanner provided with Scan And Say™ attaches to your PC with a 15 foot cable via your keyboard port, a COM (RS-232) port, or USB port (recommended). It can be used in hands-free mode with the adjustable mounting stand or as a hand-held scanner. The scanner emits a wide pattern of 20 scan lines instead of a single scan line, so the sight impaired can easily use this device.
