Pronto! QS - the ideal organizer for visually impaired
It's a fact that people who lose their sight later on in life have difficulty learning Braille. The Pronto! QS is the answer. Pronto! QS is specifically designed for blind and visually impaired people who prefer working with a QWERTY keyboard. 69 keys and tactile markers make the keyboard very user friendly and enhance the use of the organizer. The combination of a keyboard, navistick and function keys make the Pronto! QS quick and easy to use. The Pronto! QS can be connected to a Braille display if required. Two methods of connection are available: Bluetooth (a wireless option) or USB.
BAUM Braille displays in different lengths are available. External storage cards can be inserted in a slot for SD cards. Pronto! QS also takes SDHC cards that will expand the capacity to 4 GB and more.
A special feature worth mentioning is the USB Master socket, enabling users to connect USB-sticks and iPods (among other devices) as an additional external storage device with a capacity of more than 4 GB. We expect more interesting developments and applications to come. Pronto! QS stands out due to its height of only 19 mm (appr. 0.7 in.). It is slimmer than Pronto! 18 V3 making the Pronto! QS very easy to carry.
