It assists users by providing a definition
of the scanned word or
line of text, as well as reading both the words
and definition aloud using its
miniaturized text-to-speech technology
Individual words are enlarged on the
display, and words may be spelled out, or broken into syllables. If a
person is
reading and comes to an unrecognized word, the user can simply scan it,
and
the word will be spoken. Because of its complete portability, this
pocket-sized
reading technology can be used where and when needed. If you would
like a
color flyer mailed to you, please let us know. |
