Open Book

Available in Australia and New Zealand Only

OpenBook has been developed specifically for the use of blind and vision impaired individuals, and as a result is rich in features to assist those with varying degrees of vision. Perfect for when magnification is no longer of use, OpenBook essentially turns your computer into a scanning and reading machine.

Read, edit and manage scanned images from books, magazines, manuals, bills, newspapers and other printed documents with just a few easy keystrokes. Low Vision users can even set font style, size and colour of scanned documents to suit individual requirements.

Features of OpenBook:

• Three of the highest quality OCR scanning systems (FineReader, Caere and Recognita), to achieve best results for your documents.
• Choice of two leading text-to-speech synthesisers: RealSpeak and ViaVoice.
• Access to internet and email, with Connect Outloud Screen.

Reading software included

• Extensive low vision features allow you to customise the appearance of the text on your screen, including font, size, character spacing and background/character colours.
• User defined Bookmarks allow for easy movement to preferred locations in the document.
• Create templates for documents you regularly receive, so next time it arrives apply the template to rearrange the new bill automatically.
