New Aurora Suite 2005 for Windows - Affordable, Effective Help for Learning and Physical Disabilities

	If you are a person with a learning disability or if you have trouble typing or can't speak, Aurora Systems has an affordable, effective new solution for you. 

	Aurora Suite 2005 for Windows helps people with learning disabilities write and spell better.  It includes a talking spellchecker that is designed to help even the most creative spellers.  It can automatically correct many common spelling mistakes and makes it easy to automatically correct yours.  It provides spoken feedback so you can hear when you make mistakes, and it can even read email and web pages to you right off the screen, highlighting each word as it is read.  If you have trouble picking the right word, Aurora can help you with definitions and usage examples.  The best part is that it works right in the applications you use now, so you don't have to learn a new word processor or waste time transferring text from your assistive software to full-featured commercial packages.

	People who have trouble typing or tire easily need look no further than Aurora Suite for help.  While we still offer great word prediction, we have made many speed and ease-of-use improvements to our word prediction software and added UNICODE support for better language support.  To get you started quickly, Aurora Prediction can now be taught your writing style and specialized vocabulary right from your word processor documents.  Aurora includes a 625,000 word monster vocabulary and several types of abbreviation expansions in addition to the traditional text and speech macros.

	For people with speech impairments, Aurora Suite makes conversation as well as public speaking quick and easy.  Aurora Talk can import a presentation from your word processor, split it into sentences so you can easily control the rate of your presentation, and let you interrupt your presentation to answer questions.  You can assign phrases like "Yes" and "No" to function keys for quick answers, or move to a separate conversation with a single keystroke, compose and speak a longer response, then get back into your presentation with just one more keystroke.  We have new support for Microsoft SAPI 5 and include the Microsoft voices in our package, as well as support for SAPI 4 in our Professional Edition which adds support for the free L&H speech synthesizers.  These all give you quality speech output on any Windows computer with a sound card.

	Aurora Systems' quality software solutions for Learning Disabilities, Augmentative Communication and Computer Access are used by people of all ages.  Our word prediction, type and talk speech, verbal feedback, and composition and spelling assistance products help thousands of people succeed at home, in the classroom, and at work, every day.  

	Aurora Suite supports Windows 2000 and XP and comes in three editions: Professional, Standard and Value so you can get the features you need at a price you can afford.  For detailed discussions of the many changes and improvements we've made, please see our website.
