Zoom-Ex - the World's First Instant Book-To-Speech Multi-Tasking Tool for Multi-Tasking Users

Zoom-Ex is the world's first portable Instant Reading solution for Low Vision users. It is the seamless integration of an instant scanner and a lightning fast OCR. It also allows you to convert any printed text into multiple accessible formats like speech, large print, sound file, text file, etc. - within seconds.

Zoom-Ex is extremely easy to use, too: the foldable stand holds a digital scanning camera that is always at the exact distance needed to create a clear image. Low Vision users know exactly where to place the material to be read because they can touch and feel L-shaped edges of the stand. It even folds up and fits in your laptop bag.

Zoom-Ex can be used in the following ways:

Instant Reader: To make Zoom-Ex read a printed page is easy. Place your printed material under the Zoom-Ex camera and press a key on your keyboard. Within a few seconds your document is read aloud. Orientation of the page does not matter. You can place the document upside down, landscape, etc.

• Alter Reading speed to your likening
• Read the entire page or quickly browse the document by jumping to the next sentence or paragraph, or read it word by word and spell the word if necessary
• Read newspapers with ease: Zoom-Ex recognizes and reads multiple columns one after another or read across the columns by pressing a key
• With the press of a single key Zoom-Ex will describe a page layout as a sighted person sees it
• Ability to read in 9 foreign languages

Smart Magnifier: As a Smart Magnifier, Zoom-Ex separates pictures from text and presents them separately, with separate adjustable magnification. Zoom-Ex will magnify the text and wrap the lines on your computer screen for easy reading. Just scroll down; an X-Y table is no longer needed and lines will not run off the screen.

Visually-impaired users may select different ways of viewing magnified text:

• Text may be shown as a continuous running line. You can control how fast or slow the line moves
• Color combinations of text and the background
• Magnify text as much or as little as you need (up to 40x)
• Magnify your text, print it and make your own "large print books"

Want to use Zoom-Ex as Instant Reader and Smart Magnifier simultaneously? No problem!

• View your magnified text and let Zoom-Ex read it for you. Words can be highlighted if needed
• Zoom-Ex may display text as one line,one word of text at a time, or the whole screen
• View an image of the whole page while text from this page is being read aloud
• View a magnified image and hear the surrounding text read aloud

Book Scanner-Reader: Save time and money. Use Zoom-Ex to scan up to 20 pages per minute, even with the thickest bound book!

• Scan any book virtually hands-free using our patented motion detector! There is no need to push buttons. All you have to do is turn the page and let Zoom-Ex do the rest.
• Scan books in the most efficient way without destroying it by choosing the most appropriate scanning mode: One Page at a Time – for stapled documents; Only Odd or Even Pages - for larger books; Two Pages at Once - for smaller paperbacks
• Read a book page by page or jump to a desired page with a single click
• Convert up to 999 scanned pages into text with a single click
• Save books to a memory key (flash drive) or burn onto a CD and read them anywhere you go
