SiRecognizer Reads Words On Any Surface

The Itex SiRecognizer reads aloud scanned text off any surface -- an invaluable aid for those with low vision. It uses multiple OCR technologies to correct contrast and resolution, enabling it to decipher words on pill bottles, packaging, and LCD displays.

This was groundbreaking technology, though there are now less-expensive options. En-Vision America makes the ScripTalk Prescription Reader and the i.d. Mate OMNI Talking Bar Code Scanner.

There are also a growing number of iOS apps that leverage the camera and text-to-speech built into Apple devices.

These OCR products do more than see and read: they give people access to information they need to live independent lives.
