Premier Assistive Goes Mobile with the Introduction of the Brand New Portable Literacy Productivity Pack 'Premier To Go™'
Premier Assistive pioneered the concept of taking your assistive technology wherever you go with its innovative Key To Access™ and more recently, the Key To Access VPod™. These technologies are often geared to students with learning disabilities. Increasingly, we are even finding that many students without learning disabilities are enjoying the benefits of having a suite of these technologies to complement their own reading and writing activities.
(PRWEB) July 17, 2007 -- Premier Assistive goes mobile with the Introduction of the portable Literacy Productivity Pack "Premier To Go™."
Premier Assistive pioneered the concept of taking your assistive technology wherever you go with its innovative Key To Access™ and more recently, the Key To Access VPod™. These technologies are often geared to students with learning disabilities. Increasingly, we are even finding that many students without learning disabilities are enjoying the benefits of having a suite of these technologies to complement their own reading and writing activities.
As students move from conventional textbooks to electronic textbooks, this presents another new challenge. Historically, students have a book bag to store their books, dictionary and notes. They carried this book bag with them from class to class and class to home. Even with the shift to electronic books, the same need is there -- students need to carry their electronic books and lessons wherever they go. That is why Premier is making its entire Literacy Productivity Pack portable by putting it on the new Premier To Go™ drives. Think of Premier To Go™ as an electronic book bag.
Students can put their electronic books on it, PLUS 10 robust reading / writing software applications contained in our flagship Literacy Productivity Pack that already come pre-loaded on the Premier To Go™. The portability lets the students carry both books AND software used to access the books all on a single device!!
Premier To Go™ utilizes the latest "Data Life" storage technology that guarantees the data stored on the device for 10 years.
"I have had my Premier To Go™ drive go through the washer and dryer and did not lose the data," says Dr. Steve Timmer.
The drives are designed for durability -- people have dropped them in water, stepped on them and have run them through X-Ray machines at the airport without losing data.
Many students are already familiar with using generic USB drives to store their files such as text, pictures and music. Premier believes they might as well carry the software needed to access those files too. A 250,000-word dictionary can weigh as much as 18 pounds, but now imagine having your books and software fit in your pocket and weigh less than an ounce. The built-in training videos in each of the 10 applications make it easy to learn the software and since the software NEVER needs to be installed on any PC, it makes Premier To Go™ truly portable.
Preloaded Software loaded include:
| | - Universal Reader Plus--ideal for reading emails and web pages.
- E-Text Reader--a tremendous study tool that allows you to highlight, bookmark, search and extract text from a document.
- A 250,000-word Ultimate Talking Dictionary with an integrated thesaurus with partial word look-up.
- Premier Predictor Pro--talking word prediction that works with every program where typing is required.
- Talking Word Processor has an integrated dictionary and the world's most powerful talking grammar check.
- Scan and Read Pro is compatible with most flat bed scanners. Just place a book on the scanner and within a few seconds Scan and Read Pro can be reading it to you.

- PDF Equalizer ML can access, read, work with and supplement PDF files from ANY source. Includes multi-lingual support -- dynamically change the user interface to the language of your choice in English, French, or Spanish.
- Text-To-Audio--convert documents from your computer into MP3 audio files. Use with your personal player while you are away from your computer.
- Talking Calculator is an easy-to-use fully functional calculator that reads your calculations to you.
