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.
Why Orabis?
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?
Reader
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.
Magnifier
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.
Screen
The Orabis has a large 22" wide screen display.
Do you need a larger monitor? The Vocatex Plus, the
high-performance read-aloud video magnifier, is available
with monitor sizes of 26", 32" or even 37".
Two Mounting Options
The Orabis is available in two separate mounting options,
a flat table base and a flexible desk mount clamp. The
flat table base keeps the Orabis camera in a fixed postion
and offers a smooth flat surface for your reading materials.
The flexible desk mount clamp allows you to adjust the
position and height of the Orabis camera for various
tasks. You can select your mounting option at the time
of purchase or request to have both mounting options
for an additional charge.
