INTELLITOOLS ANNOUNCES
TWO EXCITING RELEASES:
INTELLIKEYS UPGRADE, POPULAR SOFTWARE OVERLAYS
For Immediate Release
- IntelliKeys® USB Version 3.0 upgrade
- Popular Software Overlays for IntelliKeys
“We are delighted to be able to debut both offerings at the upcoming Closing the Gap Conference in October,” notes Arjan Khalsa, President and CEO. “And we will have hands-on opportunities for users to test-drive both products at our expanded booth in Plaza 1.”
IntelliKeys USB Version 3.0 is a free upgrade to the control panel for IntelliKeys, IntelliTools’ popular alternative keyboard. The new IntelliKeys USB control panel allows users to attach overlays to favorite applications.
Explains Dave Robertshaw, Director of Product Management, “You create the overlay and attach it to the application.You can even determine the specific user for whom it is intended. Would you like Jeremy to use his overlay every time he opens Inspiration? Done! How about having Amanda use another overlay when she opens Speaking Dynamically Pro or Clicker? Done! You make the overlays, you choose the applications, and IntelliKeys USB 3.0 adds the access.”
IntelliKeys USB Version 3.0 also has these new features:
- Works seamlessly with AbleNet’s new wireless “Jelly Beamer” switches
- Is Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) compatible
- Ships with Overlay Maker 3 Trial version
The free upgrade can be seen at the upcoming Closing the Gap Conference and will be available by download from the IntelliTools Web site at www.intellitools.com.
Popular Software Overlays for IntelliKeys is a set of instant-access overlays for the IntelliKeys USB keyboard, providing seamless access to popular programs from seven publishers, including:
- AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and AOL Explorer
- Apple Computer’s iTunes and its Safari browser
- Don Johnston’s Co:Writer and Write:OutLoud programs
- Freedom Scientific’s WYNN and TestTalker solutions
- Inspiration Software’s Inspiration and Kidspiration graphic organizers
- Kurzweil Educational Systems’ Kurzweil 3000 program
- Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word software
Popular Software Overlays for IntelliKeys was developed using the new control panel upgrade of IntelliKeys USB. It includes a set of seven full-color, double-sided overlays that provide seamless alternative access when the user launches the corresponding software program.
Notes Robertshaw, “In other words, as you launch the software program, its corresponding overlay automatically works with IntelliKeys. It’s that easy. If you like, you may use Overlay Maker 3 to edit the overlays.”
Popular Software Overlays for IntelliKeys is available for $49.95. It can be purchased through the IntelliTools’ sales team at 1-800-899-6687 or at the IntelliTools Online Store at www.intellitools.com.
