Additional Detail for Zoom-Twix
Zoom-Twix as The World's First Instant Book-to-Speech Tool
Two leaps in speed:
- Instant scanning by photographing.
- Fastest OCR (image-to-text) to date.
Zoom-Twix Book-to-Speech Features:
- Synthetic voice of your choice.
- While text-to-speech reads text, the screen may differ from the text
being read, e.g. you can view the picture whose printed caption is being
read. Alternatively, the pronounced text can be the same as that shown;
and (Yes!!!) the pronounced word is being highlighted. FF and REW are
available. You can save books as text and/or image on your PC hard drive,
a CD, a DVD, or key chain memory. Once the texts are saved, you can
take them anywhere. Then at any time, without Zoom-Ex, you can view
them or listen to them. You can print them, making you own "large print
books". The camera field of view is easily felt by contact with a right
angle edge.
- Voice indicators and instructions assist the blind and visually impaired.
Zoom-Twix as a Scanner
Scanning 20 pages per minute while books stay bound
- Instant capture with a still camera (Zoom-Ex).
- Our patented motion detector allows scanning 20 pages per minute without
pushing a button, virtualy hands free. All you do is turn pages. Once
a flat page, held at 4 corners, is sensed as still, its image gets saved.
You turn the next page and hold it flat with both hands. And so on.
You can scan odd pages separately from even ones (isn't your life getting
easier?), even upside down – the software will order the pages properly.
You can even capture both pages at a time.
- The camera field of view is easily felt by contact with edges at a
right angle.
- You can save books as text and/or images on your PC hard drive, a
CD, a DVD, or key chain memory.
- Once the texts are saved, you can take them anywhere. Then, at any
time you can view them, or listen to them without Zoom-Twix.
- You can print them, making your own "large print books".
- Voice indicators and instructions assist the blind and visually impaired.
Zoom-Twix as a Magnifier
As a magnifier, it first scans a whole page near-instantly, by photographing
it. Then it magnifies the captured text and wraps the lines on-screen
for easy reading. Just scroll-down, no need for an X-Y table. Lines no
longer run off the screen.
Zoom-Twix: Magnifier with no need for an X-Y table (lines wrap)
- See your text in any color combination, e.g. reverse color, etc.
- Print your own "large print books", in any language, without lines
running off the page. Zoom-Ex recognizes multiple columns as such. They
are processed correctly. Zoom-Twix separates pictures from text and
presents them separately, with separate adjustable magnification.
- With the whole page in the memory, you can magnify and view the page
"as is", without any image processing. Unlike a CCTV, which needs an
X-Y table, you move around the page using keyboard arrows or your mouse.
In this mode Zoom-Twix is more like a conventional magnifier, but with
"no moving parts".
Zoom-Frog
The smallest CCTV camera - The ultimate flexibility for visually impaired
people
Zoom-Frog Automatically Focuses on objects and printed matter be they
one foot or one hundred feet away from the user and projects images magnified
up to 50 times onto a computer screen.
Keyboard keys control: zoom, brightness, contrast, colors
Zoom-Frog Features
- Zoom-Frog is a 1 lb video CCTV camera in Zoom-Twix (absent in Zoom-Ex,
which has a still camera).
- Zoom-Frog allows the user to view either close or distant objects,
for example, the blackboard or a book text.
- Zoom-Frog rotates 360° around both axes.
- The Zoom-Frog (video) image can be shown side-by-side with the Zoom-Ex
(still) image. Alternatively, each mage takes the full screen.
- The Zoom-Frog video camera has auto-focus.
- Keyboard keys control the optical zoom from 1X to 50X.
- Snapshots can be saved on your PC hard drive, a CD, a DVD, or key
chain memory.
- You can take the snapshots anywhere. Then at any time, without Zoom-Twix,
you can view them.
