<DIV>Subject: Info on Zoomtext Image Reader product for Blind or Visually
</DIV>
<DIV>Disabled</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hi Jane-</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for returning my call.</DIV>
<DIV>My name again is Mary Zaleski and I live in Flemington, NJ. As I
mentioned </DIV>
<DIV>in my message, I would be happy to ship this product out to you or
wherever
</DIV>
<DIV>it could prove helpful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Product Info:</DIV>
<DIV>Zoomtext Image Reader Ver. 1 now owned by a company called
Freedom
</DIV>
<DIV>Scientific, Freedom Scientific.com</DIV>
<DIV>I believe the product is still being sold separately, or at least
was
at </DIV>
<DIV>the time I purchased it. The technology has now been incorporated
with </DIV>
<DIV>other products, at a higher price, of course.</DIV>
<DIV>This works like an early version of what is now available on the Apple
</DIV>
<DIV>iphone, where you can snap a picture of a document and then it will be
</DIV>
<DIV>converted to speech and read back to you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Specifications:</DIV>
<DIV>Image Reader comes with a cd to load the technology for the
camera.
It </DIV>
<DIV>connects through a usb port. You can also use your own camera if
you
have </DIV>
<DIV>one one the computer in place of their camera technology. It
works
with </DIV>
<DIV>Zoomtext, a screen reading product, and I think another screen reader
</DIV>
<DIV>product as well, although I'm not sure.</DIV>
<DIV>Operating System: Windows version 7</DIV>
<DIV>Zoomtext version 10 (maybe ver. 9 too) for Windows 7.</DIV>
<DIV>Note: Zoomtext product changed with Windows ver 10, offering an
Annual HOme </DIV>
<DIV>version with monthly updates for this operating system.
ImageReader
most </DIV>
<DIV>likely won't work with this version of Zoomtext, or Windows 10.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Product includes a non-reflective pad to align your standard piece of
paper
</DIV>
<DIV>with and the camera arm which stands over the paper to take the
picture.</DIV>
<DIV>The 'L; shaped camera piece is about 12 inches by 12 inches and the arm
</DIV>
<DIV>folds down for easy storage. Like a gooseneck lamp, you need to
align
the </DIV>
<DIV>camera over the piece of paper and through the keyboard issue the
command
to </DIV>
<DIV>take the picture, revolve it or even save it to a text file.</DIV>
<DIV>Funky fonts, shiny advertisement paper and graphics can not be read
with
</DIV>
<DIV>this product.</DIV>
<DIV>I have the whole thing stored in a plastic container, including the
</DIV>
<DIV>instruction book that is open at the top, but about 12 " long x
4"
wide and </DIV>
<DIV>8" tall.</DIV>
<DIV>That's about the best description I can give you, and I think you can
find
</DIV>
<DIV>more info about it online. This is really designed to help
someone with an </DIV>
<DIV>older computer, running ver. 7 Windows, has Zoomtext or other text to
speech </DIV>
<DIV>capabilities and wants to have some way to read some of the mail or
other
</DIV>
<DIV>paper docs they have.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know if I can share this with someone. I really
hate to
just </DIV>
<DIV>throw it away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
