Reading equipment for visually disabled

With the MLXReader printed material can be magnified on a computer screen. In order to enhance readability the color of text as well as background can be adjusted. This equipment consists of a reading table on which the document can be placed and by which the document can be moved easily from left to right.

In stead of magnifying the text you want to consult, the MyReader makes an electronic photo of the document. After that, the document can be modified in order to get a better readability (for example: change of colors). The built-in image processor can also divide the page in different parts and show them in a logic order on the screen, in an automatic scroll mode as well as horizontally. The whole page can be read easily without moving the original document.

The Easyreader is a compact machine that can scan printed material and then reads it out loud. This proces is done completely automatic. The document can be put on the machine in all directions; it will be automatically turned in order to recognize the print. The speed of the 'reading out loud' can be adjusted so more experienced users can listen at a higher speed and less experienced users can slow it down. The Easyreader also contains a CD-reader and has built-in software to read audio-books in internationally recognized format.

The Plextalk PTN-1 is a portable reader for Daisy books on CD. With this machine, texts are read out loud (at an adjustable speed) and you can navigate easily through the structure of the document. For example, you can start with listening to the contents page of the document. You can then choose the chapter or paragraph you want to hear out of that content overview. For more complex documents navigation is possible on several levels. Daisy books are made by all libraries for visually impaired people. They make books, magazines and a daily newspaper in Daisy format.
