Welcome Welcome to the June 2007 edition of the Assist newsletter. In this newsletter we've got some exciting product news to share with you plus details of our new educational summer catalogue and a range of special offers.
Announcing the launch of Audio Notetaker software package  Audio recordings are a really useful tool for supporting note taking in lectures, interviews and meetings but re-listening and deciphering long digital recordings is a difficult task. Audio Notetaker is the first software package to help with navigating, annotating and organising digital recording and has many features designed specifically to help students and adults with dyslexia, dyspraxia and other difficulties such as RSI including: - Creates a visual representation of what you are listening to making it possibly to navigate and re-listen to a recording by using a mouse.
- Allows you to add text notes and save alongside the audio.
- Lets you break your recording into sections and use highlighting to organise, categorise and mark key points.
To find out more visit our Audio Notetaker web page. Audio Notetaker will be available late June at a special introductory price of £59.95 for a single licence.
