T&T Consultancy Ltd is excited to announce the upcoming release of
Say-Magic, a computing solution intended to provide improved access for
individuals with low vision and learning challenges who wish to benefit
from the advantages of speech input technology and display management
technology.

Say-MAGic brings together Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional version
10 from Nuance Communications and version 11 of the MAGic
screen-reader/magnifier from Freedom Scientific. While the product
integrates these two applications, it also presents the user with an
easy to understand interface enabling interaction with the computer
using natural language and easy to remember and understand vocabulary.

Say-MAGic contains innovative and ground-breaking technology used for
the very first time to give computer users who need the contents of the
screen to be magnified, accompanied by supportive synthetic speech
output, while being able to control the computer by voice
simultaneously.

With Say-MAGic, you will be able to:

Control all aspects of MAGic's magnification and speech output Control
Panel by voice. Move directly to the Control Panel say "MAGic Control
Panel" or to adjust colour enhancements say "MAGic Color Enhancements." 
Instantly set the magnification preference to any of MAGic's
magnification levels from 1.1 to 1.9 X and from 2 to 36 X by saying
"Level" followed by the number. If you change your mind and wish to
return to the previous magnification level, simply say "Previous Level."

Store "Favourite" magnification levels for specific situations and
recall them instantly with a voice command. 
Instantly return to the program in which you were previously working
after adjustments of MAGic's interface have been made by saying "Find My
Place." 
Select any of the MAGic views (Such as "Split," "Lens" or "Full.") by
speaking its name or control any aspect of MAGic's interface for making
visual adjustments, such as to change colour preferences. 
Hear each phrase echoed as you dictate or each sentence as it is
completed. In addition words can be "spelled" by the synthetic speech
output to provide additional support for individuals for whom 'decoding'
written text is challenging. 
Create Email messages quickly and easily from within any application
using Say-MAGic Email Contacts. 
Select or highlight text easily using the Say-MAGic special selection
facility. 
Recall regularly used phrases to save re-dictating with Say-MAGic Text
Notes. 
Create voice commands to instantly recall documents, Windows folders and
web pages. 
Hear all text units (Such as the current, next or previous character,
word, line, sentence or paragraph.) announced when requested or ask
Say-MAGic to read the entire document. 
Say-MAGic provides special support for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook
and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Both Office 2003 and 2007 are
supported. Say-MAGic takes some of the very best features from our J-Say
product (Linking Freedom Scientific's JAWS for Windows together with
Nuance Communications' Dragon NaturallySpeaking.) and presents them in a
unique visual and auditory paradigm.
