In spite of all the different types of scanning devices that read printed material and convert the material to speech, along comes a new device that makes it even easier to use.
What sets this unique reader apart from the others is that it is a hand unit. You simply hold the Reader’s camera over the print and snap a picture. In just a matter of seconds, you will be able to hear the contents of the printed page in a clear synthetic speech.
The website for this Reader lists several features and they include the following.
1. Reads most printed documents, from letters and memos to pages in a book
2. Reads address labels and package information and instructions
3. Reads and entire page or a few lines for identification
4. Stores thousands of printed pages with easily obtainable extra memory
5. Transfers files to desktop and laptop computers or Braille note-takers
