I R T I NewsClips - The Newsletter of Innovative Rehabilitation Technology Inc.,
May 2006, Volume 6, Number 1
Greetings I R T I friends,
It's been a while since I R T I sent out a News Letter but we believe you will agree this issue will have been worth waiting for.
In this edition of NewsClips I R T I introduces three new DAISY tools:
1. eClipseWriter Personal Edition Version 2.2
2. eClipseWriter Professional
3. eClipseWater, a revolutionary web deployment tool for audio documents.
4. I R T I launches a new revolutionary tutorial and product manual library.
5. Tons of product special sale prices.
About eClipseWriter Personal Edition Version 2.2
Since its release in October of 2004, eClipseWriter Personal Edition has
gained increasing popularity and adoption around the world as a preferred
Accessible Media and DAISY production tool. A major upgrade is now available
including features and enhancements too numerous to mention. But here are
some of the highlights:
1. New Wizard like build book procedure: prompts for DAISY type, Audio
Formats, and an in-line CD burning resulting in greater ease of use and
automation.
2. Improved document preparation that automatically identifies heading
level, Pages, and phrasing lists and tables.
3. Enhanced CD Burning includes the ability to burn multiple DAISY books to
a single CD and automatically creates the Disc Info file required by
hardware players to locate and play multi-title CD's. We've also added a
full CD erase feature for CDRW type CD's in addition to the quick erase.
4. The Build book procedure now creates a M3U play list in addition to the
DAISY data files, which improves playback by heading for your media on
consumer audio devices. The play list supports WAV, MP3, WMA and A S F audio
formats.
5. Includes a new built-in WMA audio converter that automatically converts
your DAISY documents from high quality WAV to WMA, Windows Media Audio
format. Many consumer hardware devices now support WMA and eClipseReader
will play, annotate, and navigate your DAISY media created with WMA audio.
6. Numerous enhancements to the talking word processor providing improved
built-in screen reader verbosity controls, convenient new hot-keys and new
merge document feature.

Introducing eClipseWriter Professional
The professional version of eClipseWriter is perfect for organizations and professionals who want to create an accessible content universe while meeting the needs of our demanding headphone connected society providing instant web delivery enabling portable audio on demand.
One of the key benefits of eClipseWriter Pro is the ability to create tiny
encrypted text files called DTB-DNAT which make it possible to post and
deliver digital talking books over the web. DTB-DNA provides a unique
encrypted single file format that is capable of transforming into multiple
forms of Accessible Media. Users simply download a DTB-DNA file, and with
our new free utility eClipseWater render a portable audio book or document
locally on their Desktop or laptop PC. The media may be read with free tools
such as Windows Media Player®, low cost consumer audio devices and studied
with sophisticated DAISY readers such as eClipseReader and portable Hardware
Players.
DTB-DNA files are so small that users with standard dial up Internet
connections can download them in just seconds. Use this breakthrough
technology to create your own Intranet or Internet Accessible content server
with minimal impact and cost to your current network infrastructure. Also,
because DTB-DNA is a proprietary encrypted text file format developed by I R
T I there are no third party costs or licenses required to deliver your
content to the clients you serve.
To demonstrate the value of our new technology, I R T I created a free
Accessible Media Content Server to advance our 26-year commitment to provide
accessible manuals and tutorials for the tools we support and sell.
