ReadEasy Talking Scanner

Take a newspaper, magazine or letter and put it under the top flap of the ReadEasy and press a button. It will start reading what is on the paper in a few seconds if by magic. It will even recognise columns and read them in order.

Ease of use

The most important factor with any piece of technologically based equipment is its accessibility to the user. For this reason the ReadEasy had been designed from the ground upwards with ease of use in mind. We are confident that any user will quickly learn how to operate ReadEasy with the aid of only one button - the help button.

No matter what the user may be doing with ReadEasy, they can press the help button at any time to be given an explanation of the functions of relevant button presses at that time. The ReadEasy is also intelligent enough to recognise an incorrectly oriented document and will automatically rotate it once it has been scanned. 

ReadEasy is also the only reading machine to adopt a simple to use keypad, meaning you do not have to hunched over the machine whist operating it. Instead, you can sit back, relax and control the speaking of your documents.

Accuracy

Being able to easily operate the ReadEasy is all well and good, but if the text on the scanned document cannot be accurately recognised, it cannot be spoken accurately to the user, therefore rendering it useless.  That is why ReadEasy uses the latest optical character recognition (OCR) engine that is recognised as being one of the most accurate available. Documents with very small font sizes, pictures, lists, columns and incorrectly oriented documents can all be scanned with superb accuracy.

Saving and Loading of Documents.

The ReadEasy has an intuitive file management system to allow saving and loading of documents. When a document is saved, a sound file is recorded with the document using the built in microphone that allows the user to identify it. When loading a file, the user cycles through a list of the saved files and as they do, the sound file that has been recorded for that file is played back allowing it to be identified.

Quality of Speech

The ReadEasy uses the latest AT&T Natural voices for the highest quality speech available with superb intonation.
