It mirrors the image using the Pearl Scanner and reads aloud word for word. OpenBook will adjust the speed and tone of the reader, as well as the size, fonts, and color of the text to make your reading experience more comfortable.
Additionally, we provide:
- Magic Large Print Keyboard, with much larger keys than a standard keyboard.
