The Smart Reader HD is a lightweight, portable reader/scanner with large, user-friendly, tactile control buttons.

A fully integrated reading solution for people with low vision, the Smart Reader HD uses a built-in HD camera and OCR (optical character recognition) to make text accessible.

Retain the pleasure of reading by listening along to Smart Reader HD, or by attaching your own monitor to view the text. With a monitor attached, you can view in colour, or enhanced high-contrast positive or negative modes, allowing for higher contrasts and easier viewing. You can enlarge or reduce the text size in seconds and change viewing options for easier visibility, thanks to easy-to-use buttons and dials.
