Ai Squared is pleased to announce the release of ZoomText 10 which delivers a collection
of innovative and exciting new features that extends ZoomText’s usefulness beyond the
computer screen. These new features allow you to create, find,
and consume information faster and more productively than ever before. Not just electronic information
on your computer, but all printed materials too. In addition, some of these features allow
you to multi-task, putting the vision impaired on an equal footing with sighted peers.
With ZoomText 10, we’re bringing it all together.
Let’s take a look at all of these new features, most of which can be found on the new “Tools”
tab on the ZoomText user interface. Background Reader…
Is a tool that allows you to listen to documents, webpages, emails, or any text while simultaneously
performing other tasks. With ZoomText Recorder…
You can turn text from documents, webpages, emails or other sources into audio recordings.
You can transfer these to your mobile device and listen to them at your convenience.
Read from Pointer is a new command that lets you to start AppReader from wherever you click
your mouse. Simply hold down the ALT and Shift keys, and then left click on where you want
AppReader to begin reading. Next we have ZoomText Camera…
…an incredible new feature that allows you to use any high definition webcam to view
and magnify printed items and other objects right on your computer screen.
Simple controls allow you to quickly zoom in and out,
as well as choose between a variety of high contrast color modes.
And switch between Full and Docked views. The ZoomText Camera provides a low-cost and
portable alternative to conventional CCTVs. Camera and custom stand bundles are available
directly from Ai Squared or your local Ai Squared dealer. Choose from a clamp-on or
tabletop model, both of which are very light and portable. Pricing information can be found
on our website at aisquared.com/camera Rounding out this amazing upgrade is an enhanced
Web Finder… Which allows you to search webpages for specific
words or phrases, or skim through pages to
find the items you’re interested in. You can even decide to navigate by webpage
element type, such as Headings. When an item of interest is found, you can
have WebFinder start reading aloud from that location.
If we click the List view button, WebFinder will show all of the webpage’s element types,
such as headings, links, controls, tables, forms, or images; that can be filtered and
sorted so you can quickly find information. The power and flexibility of WebFinder makes
web browsing fast, efficient, and more productive! You may have noticed buttons on the ZoomText
toolbar underneath the “Image Reader” heading. ZoomText ImageReader is a forthcoming
companion product to ZoomText Magnifier/Reader that allows you to scan and read printed materials
and convert them into electronic documents or audio files.
Image Reader will come with a state of the art document camera that is USB powered and
fits in a laptop bag or backpack—ideal for on the go users and when away from a power
source. The buttons will become active on the toolbar
after you’ve installed ImageReader. Image Reader will be available sometime later
this year and pricing information will be available on our website.
