Freedom Scientific Introduces TOPAZ OCR

A High-Definition Video Magnifier with Integrated OCR provides Touch Screen Navigation and Speech

(St. Petersburg, Florida - December 15, 2017)

Freedom Scientific today expanded their highly successful TOPAZ video magnifier line with a new model that combines magnification and speech. This convenient solution integrates OCR and speech with high-definition cameras and a 24-inch touch screen monitor. Users can read with clear, high-contrast magnification, or simply tap the screen to listen to documents as they are read aloud. Combined with the clear voice, magnification and high contrast, the TOPAZ OCR makes reading so much easier.

“With the live camera view, you can magnify reading materials, small items and craft projects. With OCR, you can listen to documents without straining your eyes,” said Brad Davis, Freedom Scientific's Vice President of Hardware Product Management. “When reading becomes too tiring, you can comfortably switch from reading to listening. Simply tap the touch screen and let the TOPAZ OCR do the work. Select from several clear human-sounding voices, or even scan documents in one of 21 configurable languages."
