<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">MagniLink S is a very popular video magnifier worldwide. It offers award winning design (reddot award), superior image quality, modern technology and smart features. It’s easy to carry, for example, between home
and school or a workplace – and can be connected to a computer (PC/Mac) or a monitor. Thus, you can choose the features and options that fit your needs. With its powerful TTS Text To Speech function, the MagniLink S Premium converts a full A4 page (US Letter)
of printed text into speech.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="http://www.sensusaccess.com/">SensusAccess</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">SensusAccess is a self-service, alternate media solution for educational institutions. SensusAccess allows students, faculty, staff and alumni to automatically convert documents into a range of alternate media
including audio books (MP3 and DAISY), e-books (EPUB, EPUB3 and Mobi) and digital Braille. The service can also be used to convert inaccessible documents such as image-only PDF files, JPG pictures and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations into more accessible
and less tricky formats. We call that Inclusion Technology. (license costs around $5k annually I believe so you could get a multiple year license).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We have a wonderful donor who has helped us stock our AT lab with our current software and hardware over the past two years. We have tried to be frugal and still have another $15,000 to spend. The donor wants
to see her money spent so we are trying to decide what we might buy that fulfills the following criteria (a) is useful to our students and won’t be obsolete quickly (b) if not directly useful to students, then useful in increasing awareness in staff and faculty
(c) is somewhat showy and/or state-of-the-art so that the donor can be proud. <o:p>
