Description |
Zoom-Twix as The World's First Instant Book-to-Speech
Tool
Two leaps
in speed:
- Instant scanning by photographing.
- Fastest OCR (image-to-text) to date.
Zoom-Twix
Book-to-Speech Features:
- Synthetic voice of your choice.
- While text-to-speech reads text, the screen may
differ from the text being read, e.g. you can view
the picture whose printed caption is being read. Alternatively,
the pronounced text can be the same as that shown;
and (Yes!!!) the pronounced word is being highlighted.
FF and REW are available. You can save books as text
and/or image on your PC hard drive, a CD, a DVD, or
key chain memory. Once the texts are saved, you can
take them anywhere. Then at any time, without Zoom-Ex,
you can view them or listen to them. You can print
them, making you own "large print books". The camera
field of view is easily felt by contact with a right
angle edge.
- Voice indicators and instructions assist the blind
and visually impaired.
Zoom-Twix as a Scanner
Scanning 20 pages per minute while books stay bound
- Instant capture with a still camera (Zoom-Ex).
- Our patented motion detector allows scanning 20
pages per minute without pushing a button, virtualy
hands free. All you do is turn pages. Once a flat
page, held at 4 corners, is sensed as still, its image
gets saved. You turn the next page and hold it flat
with both hands. And so on. You can scan odd pages
separately from even ones (isn't your life getting
easier?), even upside down – the software will order
the pages properly. You can even capture both pages
at a time.
- The camera field of view is easily felt by contact
with edges at a right angle.
- You can save books as text and/or images on your
PC hard drive, a CD, a DVD, or key chain memory.
- Once the texts are saved, you can take them anywhere.
Then, at any time you can view them, or listen to
them without Zoom-Twix.
- You can print them, making your own "large print
books".
- Voice indicators and instructions assist the blind
and visually impaired.
Zoom-Twix as a Magnifier
As a magnifier, it first scans a whole page near-instantly,
by photographing it. Then it magnifies the captured
text and wraps the lines on-screen for easy reading.
Just scroll-down, no need for an X-Y table. Lines no
longer run off the screen.
Zoom-Twix: Magnifier with no need for an X-Y table
(lines wrap)
- See your text in any color combination, e.g. reverse
color, etc.
- Print your own "large print books", in any language,
without lines running off the page. Zoom-Ex recognizes
multiple columns as such. They are processed correctly.
Zoom-Twix separates pictures from text and presents
them separately, with separate adjustable magnification.
- With the whole page in the memory, you can magnify
and view the page "as is", without any image processing.
Unlike a CCTV, which needs an X-Y table, you move
around the page using keyboard arrows or your mouse.
In this mode Zoom-Twix is more like a conventional
magnifier, but with "no moving parts".
Zoom-Frog
The smallest CCTV camera - The ultimate flexibility
for visually impaired people
Zoom-Frog Automatically Focuses on objects and printed
matter be they one foot or one hundred feet away from
the user and projects images magnified up to 50 times
onto a computer screen.
Keyboard keys control: zoom, brightness, contrast,
colors
Zoom-Frog Features
- Zoom-Frog is a 1 lb video CCTV camera in Zoom-Twix
(absent in Zoom-Ex, which has a still camera).
- Zoom-Frog allows the user to view either close or
distant objects, for example, the blackboard or a
book text.
- Zoom-Frog rotates 360° around both axes.
- The Zoom-Frog (video) image can be shown side-by-side
with the Zoom-Ex (still) image. Alternatively, each
mage takes the full screen.
- The Zoom-Frog video camera has auto-focus.
- Keyboard keys control the optical zoom from 1X to
50X.
- Snapshots can be saved on your PC hard drive, a
CD, a DVD, or key chain memory.
- You can take the snapshots anywhere. Then at any
time, without Zoom-Twix, you can view them.
