Extra, a Japanese company presented its brand new VoiceSense aimed at the blind people, an excellent product giving them access to things that we take for granted.

The VoiceSense is a PDA running Windows CE and equipped with great features such as a vocal guiding system, unique keyboard, possibility to write documents, PIM system (schedule, alarms, tasks, contact list…), internet browser (mail function), calculator, MP3 player, radio tuner, MSN Messenger…all using a WiFi wireless connection. Sd and CF cards can also be used.

The dimensions (188×77x25mm) and weight (266g) make it an easily transportable product. Expect it to hit the shelves next week (July 21st) in Japan, for (a sadly expensive) 1560€.
