Hi Tricia.
This is not a sales pitch. Because of stories like yours, our company was
persuaded to develop an integrated solution (KeyStone ScreenSpeaker) for
people with needs such as yours. Although we have yet to make a profit from
the product, there are many hundreds of children and adults who are
benefiting from a system which is simple to install and is highly
cost-effective. It provides a solution to totally blind, visually
handicapped, dyslexic and learning disabled individuals.
Have a look at our web site www.keyspell.com or contact our US reseller,
Shelley Lacey-Castelot via slc@innosolu.com.
With kind regards
Dr Peter S Kelway
