Intel Reader Features
The Intel Reader gives people convenient and flexible access
to
a variety of printed materials. Its features include:
Easy-to-use Design
The Intel Reader is easy to use. Simply point, shoot and listen
to printed text such as schoolwork, printed work documents,
magazines, mail, cookbooks and more. Easy-to-locate buttons,
audio and visual navigation, and straightforward menus make
it easy to locate the functions users need.
Convenient Mobile Reading
Weighing just over a pound and about the size of a paperback
book, the Intel Reader provides all the power of a bulky PC
and scanner in a convenient size for work, school, home, or
on the road. The Intel Reader fits easily in a purse or backpack
and is ideal for reading on the go, with a sturdy magnesium
case and generous battery life. Point-shoot-listen mode enables
reading in a variety of locations, from work and school to shopping
or travel, making it easy to read signs, product labels, concert
programs, guidebooks and other text on the go, and the earphones
allow private listening, clearly and discretely, without disturbing
others.
Convenient Bulk Capture for Large Documents
The Intel® Portable Capture Station is used with the Intel
Reader to quickly and conveniently capture large amounts of
text for school, work or pleasure. The sturdy, portable stand
enables complete, rapid text capture, holding the camera to
help capture books, magazines, newspapers, and other documents.
A transparent film holds books flat for easy capture, and the
large, easy-to-find capture button on the base helps users quickly
capture lots of pages. It folds up into a convenient briefcase
size for use at home, work or school. The Intel Portable Capture
Station is usually sold separately from the Intel Reader.
Content Management Features
The Intel Reader helps people organize and access their content
efficiently so they can accomplish tasks faster. The library
feature lets people bookmark favorite documents for fast access.
Users can navigate within a document by word, sentence, or by
page, and they can go to a specific page or jump to the beginning
or the end. During playback, the text is highlighted as it is
read aloud, and users can have the Intel Reader pause and spell
out highlighted words.
Content and Playback Choices
The Intel Reader can store and play back a wide choice of content.
The Intel Reader will play most content, including MP3, DAISY*
books and even text transferred from a PC, as well as MP3 or
WAV music files. It can also generate audio versions of printed
materials, such as MP3s, that can be played on most digital
music players or computers. Users can play back content with
lifelike voices, selecting gender, pitch, and speed to suit
their personal preferences. A USB connection makes it easy to
transfer files to or from a personal computer or USB drive.
