The scanner, very easy to use
The EasyReader uses the built-in scanner to read out the texts. The scanner is most suited to read pages, and it remains, without doubt, the most accurate solution for reading your texts.
The EasyReaeder can really be used blindfolded. Light and shade have no impact, hefty books can easily be pressed down and the page is always ideally positioned because the scanner edges are perfectly perceptible. Moreover, the scanner offers the highest possible resolution, allowing the perfect reading of medicine information leaflets.

Simple, yet complete
Just like its predecessor, the EasyReader is the simplest device in the world. The limited number of buttons with spoken help messages allows a very simple use. The volume, reading speed, battery status, and Daisy-based navigation is easy to operate.
Nonetheless, the EasyReader offers complete navigation, on the letter, word, sentence, line, text block, and page level. The device was conceived so that you can operate it like a Daisy player. The EasyReader allows you to simply scan the entire page without missing even the smallest of details.

The camera, quickly determining the starting position yourself
The EasyReader can do it! The camera does a quick scan, and you decide which part of the text must be read. In that way, you can quickly decide what you want to read and you do not have to wait for the device. Furthermore, you can even scan the page for text, white spaces, and pictures. Owing to the unique positioning technique texts become even more accessible. Reading like this makes every page interesting.
Really portable, lightweight aluminum design
The built-in battery allows 7 hours of reading pleasure without any need to connect it to power. The lightweight aluminum casing makes the device very solid and makes it perfectly possible to use it away from your home or office. You can easily scan texts on the road or away from home, without taking up any additional space.
Quick and accurate
With one push on the scan button, the EasyReader will read the text to you in seconds. The device is very accurate and transfers all text into a natural voice. The new OCR software makes voice recognition even quicker. Now you can even choose to switch off column recognition and to really read the text from left to right.
Digital sound
Texts are read with a crystal clear digital sound quality. The voices sound natural and are pleasant to listen to. The new EasyReader now offers an even broader range of voices. You can choose between the high-quality voices in Nuance Vocalizer or the new crystal clear voices in Acapela. The device has a headset jack allowing you to listen undisturbedly and attentively.
Document management
The EasyReader can read PDF files from a USB stick. Additionally, it also exports texts to an MP3 player or USB stick. Just connect and the EasyReader will automatically ask you what to do. Should you still want more options, you can use the optional keyboard to save onto the hard disk, MP3 player, or USB memory stick. You can then simply listen to the texts at a later time.
Braille
By connecting your braille display, the EasyReader will convert the scanned text to braille characters. Even all messages are displayed in braille to make the EasyReader fully operational for the deaf-blind
