Frequently asked questions
A text-to-speech device is an electronic aid that consists of a camera arm above a table with an integral speaker. Software converts the text into speech. The device can read printed text such as bank statements, books and folders, etc., out loud to you.
You put the printed text on the text-to-speech device’s table, under the camera. You press a button to give the device the command to record the page and use OCR text recognition software to convert the page into digital text. The text-to-speech software then reads the text out loud to you from the integral speaker or, if you so wish, from the speaker of an audio set connected to the headphone jack socket.
First of all, the device has been designed for people with low vision for whom glasses or a handheld magnifier is no longer sufficient and for people who are completely blind. Our text-to-speech devices are used by people with disorders such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts, and complete blindness.
Our text-to-speech devices are supplied with an integral battery so that you can not only use them at home but also at the office, on holiday and when you are out. The internal memory and output for external storage enable you to save important documents and take them with you in digital form.
You qualify for an electronic magnifier when you have been diagnosed with a visual impairment to a degree that makes it impossible or almost impossible to read without this aid.
This must in any case state the explicit reasons and your medical data. The applicant is usually an ophthalmologist, the physician who is treating you or an institution for the blind and visually impaired. A GP cannot usually prescribe an electronic magnifier.
Your GP will usually refer you to an ophthalmologist or other specialist. For an address nearby you can contact us.
