The Poet Compact is a standalone reading machine with an excellent speech-output.

With the Poet Compact, you are able to listen to all kinds of printed material at the touch of a button - without having to study long and complicated instructions before.

All you have to do is place your material on the glass of the scanner - like on a photocopier - lean back and let the Poet Compact do the rest for you.

You don't need any computer skills to operate this product. All components are integrated in an elegant case with a few keys on the front. All you have to do is plug in the main cable, switch it on and start reading.

Poet Compact automatically recognizes the page orientation on the glass, takes a picture of the page, converts the picture into spoken language and reads it aloud to you - and not only in English.

Though easy to use, Poet Compact offers quite a lot of additional features. You may vary, for example, the reading speed - slow, normal or fast, while the pitch doesn't change. Different language versions are also available.

Poet Compact works with an powerful speech output, which is very comfortable to listen to. As the speech fragments are not created synthetically, but are derived from the human voice, it sounds most natural. Besides the speech output, Poet Compact offers also a capability for Braille output.

Poet Compact has an enormous memory: The built-in hard disk can storage a huge quantity of pages, that can be easily retrieved and read out again. It has sufficient capacity to save far more than 500,000 pages. That means the Poet Compact could read to you off his memory for about 10 years - if you calculate three minutes for the reading out of one page for 8 hours a day - provided you gave it this amount to read in advance.

Saving documents is very simple: Just speak a name for the document into the integrated microphone and press the respective button - that's all. Under that name, you will then later find your text again.
