With Zoom-Ex you can read fast
and efficiently for hours:
Zoom-Ex captures the entire letter-sized page and saves it in digital format. You then can gradually increase the magnification up to 50 times and navigate the saved page using a mouse, a keyboard or a control pad. No need for an X-Y table, no head movements, no headaches.
With a single click you can separate the pictures from the text and reformat the latter for easy reading. Zoom -Ex will automatically add line breaks into the text to make the enlarged lines fit the width of the screen. Just scroll up and down to read the whole page.
You can select any combination of the foreground and background colors.
Zoom-Ex enables you to
go beyond just effective reading. It revolutionizes
the way in which you work with printed matter:
You can print the entire magnified text on as many pages as needed. Zoom-Ex wraps the text, lines will never run off the page.
Read the printed pages one after another as you would read a book with large fonts.You can save the entire page for future reading, send it through e-mail to your friends, import pages saved by others
back to Zoom-Ex.

Get up to speed with sighted people: use Eye-Pal to instantly convert printed material to refreshable Braille, speech, or text file.
Eye-Pal is a one-pound foldable USB device that is faster than flatbed scanners – it takes only a few seconds from a single keystroke to speech or Braille output.
At home or away, even in the dark, Eye-Pal allows you to browse through pile of letters and organize them either as paper or computer files, read bound books, newspapers, or professional magazines and save as text or sound with one click.
Ease of Use for the Blind
Blind users know exactly where to place the material to be scanned because they can touch and feel L-shaped edges.
The foldable stand designed for the blind holds a digital camera over the printed matter. The camera is always at the exact distance needed to create a clear image.
Eye-Pal’s patented motion detector allows scanning a bound book at 20 pages per minute. You turn a page over; wait half a second for the shutter sound, turn again and again, it’s that easy.
With a single keystroke you can easily start and stop scanning or reading or get the description of the page layout spoken as a sighted reader sees it.
