Zoom-Ex is four powerful tools in one:
- Instant Reader: It’s the world’s first instant book-to-speech tool — proprietary OCR software provides lightning fast performance for real-time page-to-speech.
- Smart Magnifier: It’s a magnifier that eliminates the need for an X-Y table and delivers text wrapping on screen for easy reading.
- Book Scanner-Reader: It’s a fast 20ppm scanner (allowing you to keep books bound and intact) that provides you with OCR.
- Real-time CCTV: This mode allows you to use Zoom-Ex as CCTV magnifier up to 12X on 19” monitor.
