Orabis is an easy to use digital magnifier that reads aloud to you!
The Orabis is both a reader and a HD magnifier in just one device. It is the perfect combination to read text without getting tired. Just select the text that you want to read and with the push of a button, a clear human-sounding voice will immediately start reading. With the Orabis, it will be less tiring for you to read text, books and newspapers. It opens a completely new way to read.
Many people with low vision are tired after reading text for just 15 minutes, so reading a long article is almost impossible. With the Orabis, you can easily start the read-aloud function and listen to text.
People suffering from Macular Degeneration, Retinitis Pigmentosia, and other retinal degenerative diseases have problems with reading continuously. The Orabis is designed to support daily reading without limits.
Just use one device to magnify and to read aloud. Why buy a separate video magnifier and a reading machine or have a separate computer with scanner?
With the column selector (the vertical line in the middle of the screen), you can easily select a text block or a column on the screen to read. Press the start button and 2 seconds later the voice starts reading the text to you. A rectangle around the word follows the text. That way you have a clear overview and you know your exact reading position.
By having text read to you, you can reduce the magnification while having a better overview. You only need to select the text and press a button to hear the text. It's a whole new way of reading which enables you to read quicker, longer and to move your text around the screen less. No more seasick feeling you get with other magnifiers.
After pausing or sliding the text, the Orabis continues to read the correct part of the text. Volume, language and the reading speed are adjustable.
Besides being a reader, Orabis is a magnifier with a magnification range from 2x up to 20x.
Just turn the knob in the center of the Orabis to change the magnification. You can also change the colors from picture mode to negative, positive or any other combination.
The Orabis has a large 22" wide screen.
Do you need a larger monitor? The Vocatex, the high-performance read-aloud video magnifier, is available with monitor sizes of 26", 32" or even 37".
The Orabis offers 1-2-3 installation. 1: Place the foot on the table, 2: Click the arm on the foot, 3: Mount the screen.
If you need even more flexibility, you can mount the Orabis on a desk mount arm (sold separately).
The Orabis is available in 19 different languages and a total of 38 voices.
The integrated high-end human sounding voices provide the Orabis the highest quality available today.
The Orabis is equipped with voices from Nuance Vocalizer. Nuance is the largest speech company in the world.
Languages: UK English, US English, German, French, Dutch, Belgian Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Norwegian, Swedish, Slovak, Danish, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Czech, Russian, Greek, and Finnish
The Orabis uses the patented technology used by the Vocatex, which has proven successful throughout Europe. The Vocatex is a multimedia HD video magnifier and reader with large screens available in 26", 32" or even 37". It combines the same features of the Orabis with larger screens and better image quality. For even better performance, step up to the Vocatex.
Easy Talk Computers offers a three-year warranty on the Orabis, starting from the purchase date. The warranty covers labor and materials. The warranty for the Orabis monitor must be handled directly by the manufacturer of the monitor.

Imagine if you could read a road map, a can of food while shopping in a grocery store, or a menu at a restaurant. With the portable SenseView CCTV, you can do all of that and more. Are you worried that you are taking the wrong medicine because you are having trouble reading the text on a medicine bottle? Your worries are over.
The SenseView makes life easier, and is simple to use. If you can press a button, you can use the SenseView.
The SenseView is the world's smallest portable CCTV, and is packed with features. The SenseView has a 4.3" widescreen LCD display, and weighs a mere 7.8 ounces.
The powerful magnification of the SenseView is unmatched by any handheld portable CCTV; allowing even very low vision consumers to use the SenseView. While other handheld portable CCTVs are limited to a maximum of 7x magnification, the SenseView can digitally zoom in and out on an image with the simple press of a button from 4x all the way up to 22.5x. The SenseView also offers four brightness l evels and 6 different color modes for easy viewing. You can read print in color, black and white, or with one of the other 4 color choices.
With two foldable legs, the portable SenseView provides multiple viewing configurations. The legs can be unfolded one at a time to tilt the screen toward you, making for a more comfortable reading position. The SenseView even allows you to take a snapshot of the image displayed on the screen. You can hold the unit close to your face, and zoom in on the image for an even closer view.
Not only is the SenseView the world's smallest portable CCTV, it also has one of the longest battery lives. While other portables only give you 1 to 4 hours worth of battery, the SenseView provides you with an amazing 5 hours of continuous use. If you want to know when to recharge the battery, simply turn on the battery meter, and find out how much power you have left. No more guessing how much power is left, and no more worrying about the battery going dead while at the store or restaurant.
Price: $995.00
The SenseView Duo combines a distance camera and a close-up & handwriting camera in one device. You don't have to carry many kinds of portable magnifiers for specific purposes.
Use the SenseView Duo at home, school, while shopping, or out on the town.
DSV and DSVXtra are both available with an optional LCD monitor. You can choose either a 19” or 22”monitor. The monitor can move up, down, forward, or backward. Optimal viewing angles are assured from the tilt and swivel of the monitor. Both models have several color combinations. Modes can be easily adjusted by using the Mode Dial Button, placed conveniently to the left of the Zoom Dial Button. With such a vast array of color modes, users can select traditional options such as true color, black and white, and negative. More unique combinations are also available, including green/black, green/pink, and red/blue-green. The screen has eight brightness levels, easily adjusted from the Brightness Dial Button, making it easy to adjust the brightness so that it is comfortable for your eyes to read. The XY table enables users to move the table in any direction, making it more comfortable to read or view various items, including magazines, books, or even photographs. If you would like to read line by line, the Line/Window Markers guide you with horizontal and vertical markers and windows to keep you from getting lost. To help users who want to take notes, the table can be locked into position. The convenient Zoom Dial makes it easy for users to go from level one to level 16, providing the ability for quick magnification. The unit has two zoom modes—an optical zoom and a digital zoom. Digital zoom provides a larger magnification rate. The DSV allows you to view either the CCTV or the PC when the DSV is connected to a PC. With the DSVXtra, the screen may be split horizontally or vertically to display both the CCTV and PC simultaneously on the same screen. This feature is especially useful for students when quoting material from books in research papers. When placing reading material under the camera, the magnification module automatically puts the material into focus. Automatic focus can be disabled to make tasks such as letter writing easier to accomplish. The DSVXtra also comes with date/time, voice and sound features.
