Pronto! 18 is the brandnew electronic organizer produced by BAUM: Small, convenient, versatile!
All our expertise went in designing for you the smallest, most versatile and most convenient Braille organizer available. Easy to use and equipped with all the useful features you need every day. A hightech design with advanced communication interfaces and well prepared for future applications.

Pronto! 18 offers you a variety of functions: Notebook, calculator (standard and scientific), calendar with diary functions, data base for addresses and phone numbers. On the touch of your finger get time and date, temperature, altitude and compass information. Take a voice note with the built-in digital recorder or listen to music through the integrated MP3-Player. The internal memory of 64 MB RAM and 32 MB Flash Memory can even be extended by widely available CF-memory cards (as used in digital cameras).

Pronto! 18 is a handy and simple to operate product: Although it has many functions we cared a lot about a simple user interface. You start the most important functions simply by pressing a button, even if the device is switched off. The functions are easy to learn but efficient. Braille navigation keys are conveniently located left and right of the Braille display; alternatively a new mini-joystick can be used. A lot of thoughts and user testing went into the ergonomic and quiet keyboard with an optimal user feedback. It is ideal for classroom operation or in meetings.

With your Pronto! 18 you get a very handy case. You can either use a shoulder strap or just mount it on your belt: You can operate all functions of your Pronto! within the case: Reading and using your cell phone at the same time? - No problem! Looking up a recipee while cooking? - No problem! Reading a book in a public bus with a sudden stop? - No problem at all: Your Pronto! remains securely in the case.

Pronto! 18 is your daily companion, now and in the future: Even though your Pronto! is a very versatile and flexible product tomorrow new ideas and applications will come up. With Pronto! 18 you are well prepared: It can be easily software upgraded through downloading from a PC or through CF-cards.
