Eye-Pal
We are proud to introduce the Eye-Pal, a portable 1-pound Scanner/Reader.
This innovative tool makes it possible to turn any computer into a scanner
and reader for blind and deaf-blind. It converts printed material to
refreshable Braille, speech, or a saved text file.
The Eye-Pal scans printed material and instantly converts text to speech
or sends the information to a Braille Display for the Blind and Deaf-Blind.
Faster than flatbed scanners, the Eye-Pal takes only 3-7 seconds from
the keystroke to speech or Braille output.
Additional Detail for Eye-Pal
Get up to speed with sighted people: use Eye-Pal to instantly convert
printed material to refreshable Braille, speech, or into a 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 convert
print into speech or Braille output.
At home or away, even in the dark, Eye-Pal allows you to browse through
piles 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 keystroke.
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.
The saved text can be carried anywhere and used with MP3 players, key
chain memory, CDs and more.
