Independent while on the Go!
MagniLink Go! is a new
portable solution for people with low
vision. It's a combined portable video
magnifier and talking reading machine. It
uses a cell phone as a combined digital
reader and digital magnifying glass, but
it's really the MagniLink Go! software
running on a cell phone that allows
magnified reading or voice reading of almost
any printed material you need to access
while on the go.
- In
the restaurant, listen as MagniLink Go!
reads the menu to you, then later magnify to read the bill
and write the tip, total and sign the credit
card receipt.
- At the grocery store, snapshot the print
on a box and listen to it read back to you
aloud or read the details of the sale price
tag sign using the built-in video magnifier
feature.
- At the airport, magnify and read or
snapshot and listen to your airline ticket
information.
- While commuting on a bus or train,
capture the image of an office memo or
magazine article, then listen as it reads aloud (wear an
earphone or headset, as needed).
... use MagniLink Go! to
read aloud or magnify almost any printed material
anywhere, anytime you need.
A single key press
- and you're ready
to Go!
Accessibility to printed
information while on the Go! is now
available in both speech and magnification
in one integrated portable unit. Magnify
text using the live camera option or capture
an image for speech output reading.
Choose a document, place the
cell phone above the document, then simply
press a single button to begin the OCR
processing. In a few seconds, the speech
will start automatically ... no need to
press additional buttons. Just listen as
the document is read aloud in a high quality
voice. Set the preferred speech rate and
volume. Listen directly from the phone, or
connect your personal earphone or headset
depending on the environment or your
personal listening preference.
Read or Listen ... it's your Choice
Low vision users who can see the display
screen can enlarge the text from 1x - 7x in
multiple levels of magnification, choose the
text and background color setting most
comfortable for their vision, and read for
themselves. Each function only requires a
single key press on the numeric keypad.
MagniLink Go! can read most
documents regardless of the camera's angle
or rotation of the paper. If the document
is captured sideways or upside down,
MagniLink Go! will automatically adjust and
correct the orientation. To digitally
capture the image of most documents, hold
the cell phone about 8" - 12" above the
document, then press the Snapshot button to
take the picture using the cell phone
camera. It's easy to learn how to snapshot
and capture an image.
Note: Although
MagniLink Go! is software operating in
select Nokia cell phones, you do not need to
activate the cell phone or subscribe to cell
phone services to use the magnification and
text-to-speech capabilities.
Add Talks or Mobile
Speak for Cell Phone Functionality
Combine MagniLink Go! with
Talks or Mobile Speak software for
an all-in-one cell phone solution. With
benefits of either of these screen readers,
you can access the other functions of the
cell phone, like accessing your contact
list, incoming and outgoing phone calls,
calendar schedule, and most other cell phone
functions.
Just
go with MagniLink Go!
