Introducing myReader, a new revolution in low vision.....

myReader is the world's first low vision  auto-reader. Designed to benefit people suffering from eye conditions such a macular degeneration,  diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma myReader promises to revolutionise the low vision market forever. 

Unlike its predecessors, myReader scans and captures the entire page and then presents it to users  just the way they want to read. myReader enables those with low vision to go beyond just reading bills and writing shopping lists, and to once again read their favourite books with ease.

Cast your eye over these advanced new features:

  • Full page document capture: myReader's full page document capture makes automatic reading possible. With one touch of a button myReader captures an image of whatever is on the viewing table and rearranges it to fit on the screen according to your preferences.  When reading with myReader you only have to scroll in one direction -  no longer are you required to have to move back and forth trying  to find the last line you were reading. 

    Once text is captured it can be presented according to your specific preference.  Choose text to be presented as a neatly wrapped paragraph (column layout), as a continuous line (row layout) and one word at a time (word layout) - examples of these preferences are below.

  • Improved Navigation:  myReader has no XY table.  All navigation is done using  the control panel. Using this users are able to navigate around a document without having to physically move the document. Unlike other products myReader brings the words to the user.  This reduces the mental and physical fatigue that people often experience when using a device fitted with an XY table. 
  • Automatic scrolling: With myReader you can set the text to scroll automatically at the touch of a dial, while maintaining the control of the speed. If you prefer you can control the scrolling manually or step through the text a screen at a time. 

  • Built-in 15" LCD screen: myReader operates at 75Hz so the super sharp LCD screen is flicker free and radiation free.  For added comfort, the monitors height and tilt angle can be adjusted to suit the users requirements. By having a built-in LCD monitor and no XY table, myreader only takes up a limited amount of space.

  • Simple controls: myReader is operated via a separate control panel, which is clearly labelled and easy to use. The control panel is designed to allow users to operate myReader for long periods. The control panel allows users to: adjust the speed they are reading at, manually navigate through a document, advance through the text a screen at a time, change display modes, select a new document, change the size and colours on the screen, set margins and access menus. 

  • Greater transportability:  In three easy steps myReader folds up into a compact unit. Weighing only 22lb/10kg and including an integrated carry handle, myReader can be picked up and easily carried from room to room with ease. 

  • Retaining the best: As well as incorporating all the new functionality outlined above, myReader retains some of the best features of the video magnifier, including: a range a contrasting colour combinations for presenting text, a live mode for handwriting and other manual tasks, autofocus and split-screen  PC operation. 

  • Design Expertise:  SmartSense is the technology powering myReader. Developed by HumanWare's Research and Development team, SmartSense enables myReader to recongise, rewrap and control the text in documents it scans.
