LunarPocket Hal
Pocket Hal - Screen reader for Pocket PCs (PDAs).
What is Pocket Hal?
If you're regularly on the move and need to stay connected, the technology is already here in a portable format (a PDA) and Dolphin Pocket Hal can make it accessible.
What is a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)?
A PDA is a small hand held computer that runs a Windows Mobile Operating System. PDAs provide many of the capabilities of a standard desktop PC but in a portable and lightweight package.
What does a PDA do?
Like a PC a PDA allows you to use a wide range of applications. Windows mobile includes Internet Explorer, Outlook, messenger, Media Player, Word and Excel allowing to take notes, create documents and stay connected.
How is a PDA made accessible?
Like a PC the standard software resides in the PDA, but to access it you will need to add some accessories, such as a wireless keyboard and ear phones, possibly a portable Braille device and of course Dolphin Pocket Hal to make it talk. Pocket Hal supports input and output via a range of compatible Braille display devices.
Why would you choose a PDA over a desk top or mobile phone?
Mobility, a PDA will allow you to work on the move. PDAs also offer internet to go. Although mobile phones offer this, the reality is with a PDA that is Wi-Fi enabled you can surf at speeds that are 20 times faster than a normal GSM phone. These days you don't have to travel too far to find a Wi-Fi.
Why would you choose an accessible PDA ahead of a proprietary Braille note taker?
An accessible PDA is the future and it's future proof. Microsoft have a major stake in this market and all the big electronic hardware companies such as Hewlett Packard, Dell and Samsung are heavily invested; it is the next generation and it's here.
Who uses Pocket Hal?
Anyone who wants to work on the move and stay connected cheaply. People at work or college; people who travel regularly will all benefit from the latest PDA technology.
Key Benefits:
- Full screen reading tools for a PDA device, enabling you to work on the move.
- Supports input and output via a range of compatible Braille display devices.
- A single license covers you the user, and not just one PDA, so you don’t have to buy a new license of Pocket Hal, just because you’ve bought a new Pocket PC.
- Based on the successful Hal screen reader so you can rely on proven technology from the experts.
- Use the PDA buttons to quickly review your emails, calendar, contacts and other applications.

Duxburry DBT (Arabic Version) Arabic Braille Tables Software
Duxburry DBT
Most people understand the basics about braille: that it provides a reading medium for blind people, using "cells" made up of raised dots in various patterns instead of the characters used in regular print. But many people do not realize that the cells-for-characters substitutions are not, typically, on a one-for-one basis. The process is especially complicated in languages such as English and French where "grade 2" braille is used, involving "contractions" that are based in part upon pronunciation. Formatting of braille pages also involves issues beyond those affecting print. DBT provides translation and formatting facilities to automate the process of conversion from regular print to braille (and vice versa), and also provides word-processing facilities for working directly in the braille as well as the print. "Fonts" are used for displaying the braille.
Who uses software for braille?
Our software is designed for two types--those who don't know braille and those who do. Even if all the braille you know was learned from the previous paragraph, the Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) will allow you to create highly accurate braille for school books and teaching materials, office memos, bus schedules, personal letters, signs compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and more. Where you need to be sure of "perfection," we would certainly recommend that you also make use of proofreading (just as you would proofread print books) by a knowledgeable braillist--who may be using DBT as well. That is because DBT is just as important to professional transcribers--for swift conversion to braille from a wide variety of print sources.
Notable Features of DBT
DBT is simple to use--beginners learn in just minutes. Yet its depth, power and accuracy are such that it is used by most of the major braille production centers throughout the world. The current version provides the following at features:
- Built-in interline printing (see sample above) to have ink-braille and print together. This makes an easy proofing and teaching tool. Great for the braille-impaired too!
- Math/Science Code and Computer Braille translation for American, British, and French Braille.
- Intermediate levels (between grade 1 and 2) for American and British braille
- The ability to include tactile graphics files for mixed text-and-graphic documents
- Imports from popular word processors including Microsoft Word and WordPerfect, HTML, ICADD, DAISY/NISO/NIMAS, formatted and plain ASCII, earlier braille editors such as EDGAR and Polkadot, Duxbury's own historical file formats, and more.
- The current translation table menu includes dozens of major languages plus variations, including grade 2 support for most jurisdictions where grade 2 is customarily used. Moreover, DBT allows languages other than the principal language to be embedded in the same file and treated as appropriate for the context. (Contact us if you have questions about a specific language.) Now braille for foreign-language texts and language teaching texts is a snap.
- Bidirectional (print-to-braille and braille-to-print) translation
- American textbook layout according to Braille Authority of North America (BANA) standards, and likewise the Braille Authority of the United Kingdom (BAUK) customs for the same purpose
- Accurate presentation of both print or braille in either WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) or coded (how-you-get-what-you-want) views in the word-processing screen, with easy switching between views
- A "translated line" showing the "other" form in either print or braille files
- Six-key chording for braille and print entry, not timing-based, compatible with most keyboards
- Help screens throughout the program
- Documentation in print, braille & electronic formats
- Over 100 formatting & translation codes for a high level of flexibility
- A library of user-configurable styles
- A user-extendable template library for even more flexibility
- A spell-checker with 300,000-word dictionary
- A "Quick Find Misspelling" feature for increased speed and ease of use
- Embossing to all major braille printers; the first page may be a "banner" for job identification by personnel who don't read braille
- The Duxbury Braille Font for viewing braille dots within other programs
- Choice of single-user, site & other licenses
- The ability to process files as large as the operating system allows
- The ability to have multiple files open simultaneously
- Unlimited technical support by telephone, email, fax, etc.
- An Internet user forum to communicate with other Duxbury users
- All backed by a 90-day satisfaction guarantee!
