The NANO is an extremely powerful pda-lite (personal digital assistant) for
blind and visually impaired people with or without knowledge of braille as
well as those who want to learn braille. It provides the general functions of
a PDA and has the dimensions of a chocolate block. Due to its small size,
its slim shape and its ultra-lite weight it can easily be taken along; even
carried around the neck or attached to the belt. NANO is a joyful servant in
our hectic times:
- Notebook: Text notes are put in by using the braille-keyboard or the
cursor-keys, audio notes by the recording function. The user designates
the files where the records are to be stored. Data-transfer is possible
by serial interface or with an optional USB adapter.
- Adressbook: all addresses (keyed-in or recorded) are administered
by a single directory. An efficient browsing mode enables the user to
easily access the entries: only the first letters of the name, a given
number or code need to be keyed-in
- Agenda: Recurring and one-time dates are safely kept and easily
accessible. The NANO reminds of the date by an acoustic signal
- Calculator: the Nano offers a simple calculator as well as a powerful
scientific calculator
Calender and Watch: time, date day of the week, timer, stop-watch
- Games: piano, dice, black-jack, lotto, roulette, bingo, chess-clock
