Dr. Peet's Talk/Writer

April 25, 1995 -- Hartley Courseware is now offering a new Macintosh
version of its popular Dr. Peet's Talk/Writer, a talking word processor
with built-in features that make it easily accessible to any novice
writer, regardless of physical or cognitive challenges.

It consists of two programs: ABC Discovery uses realistic, full-color
graphics to introduce the ABCs, offers practice in identifying letters and
enables learners to write letters and words to make the computer "talk."
Talk/Writer goes further by providing a transition to a fully functional
word processor for learners to create and listen to longer sentences and
stories.

A "double-touch" option for blind users lets them hunt and peck for letters
on the computer keyboard with their ears, as well as their fingers.
Severely physically challenged users can use the built-in scanning
routines, entering text by pressing a single switch as the computer scans
letters and letter blocks.

Features also include a built-in spell checker, options for selecting font
style, size and color, as well as determining the most suitable speech
synthesizer voice and whether it "reads" letters, words or the entire
text.

Dr. Peet's Talk/Writer can take nonreaders through the earliest stages of
reading readiness to more advanced written communication, in a way that is
endlessly interesting and targeted to work for them. Hartley is offering
the program for a limited time at the low price of $59.95 (through
September 1, 1995). To order or for more information, call
1-800-247-1380.
