View CartScanTalker Bundle
When you can't easily tell the difference between similar-shaped bottles, cans, and other product containers around your home, ScanTalker identifies the product and provides other spoken label information simply by scanning the product label's bar code. ScanTalker includes a built-in database that allows blind and low vision users to identify more than 1 million products including groceries, health and beauty goods, pharmaceutical products and audio and video compact discs.
The ScanTalker Bundle includes the application, a 256 MB CompactFlash card pre-installed with databases, cable, USB adapter, 100 pre-printed bar code labels, bar code reader, and print and electronic manuals. The included omni-directional bar-code reader easily scans UPC codes, regardless of the position - no need to hold the bar code stationary.
