The BookSense DS is the only book player to have an OLED (organic light emitting diode) display. An OLED display can be used to produce higher contrast ratios to help those with low vision. This new device has the accessibility to read books and word documents, play music, read DAISY textbooks, and play material from the Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. The BookSense has 4GB of built in memory, and it also has the ability to accept higher capacity memory cards for maximum storage of books and music.
The OLED display is great for teachers and students who have learning difficulties. Teachers are able to use the display to see what students are doing, or see what the BookSense is saying. Students are able to use the device to follow along on the screen to read a document or textbook. Students are also able to see or hear textbooks, and they are even able to adjust the reading speed to make reading easier and more enjoyable.
The BookSense is a good choice for educators, students, and any blind or visually impaired person to easily access music, books, and documents. The item is not yet on the market, and the price is still to be determined.
You can find an educational video on the BookSense and more information on the device on the GW Micro Website.
