Magnify and read your books, magazines and newspapers or have them read out to you. The Vocatex is a Full HD video magnifier that magnifies texts and photographs with razor-sharp clarity and vivid colours. Combined with the built-in readout function Vocatex also reads out all printed texts, available in a range of large screen sizes!
The Vocatex is a user-friendly magnifier with speech. Read yourself or let Vocatex read for you. The system starts reading immediately after you press a button. The screen clearly shows what is being read. A pleasant voice reads out and your eyes are given a rest.
The intelligent readout function not only reads selected blocks of text but also entire A4 pages, reading a whole page is easy, the Vocatex will read letters, magazines, big newspaper pages or books.
Every device can be customised to your specific needs for, among others, macular degeneration, tunnel vision and photophobia to increase viewing comfort.
The high contrast screen of the Vocatex can show the magnified text of your computer, television or tablet, with the computer connection and a magnifying program you can even work in split screen, whereby the image of the magnifier and your computer can be seen on 1 screen simultaneously.
The Vocatex has a Full HD camera which provides high contrast and razor-sharp images. The picture is extremely stable and steady. The magnifier has an extra wide viewing angle of 23 cm to read page-wide The Vocatex allows you to look at photographs of your children and grandchildren, read newspapers and magazines, write letters, do crossword puzzles and solve sudokus again.
The Vocatex has various high-contrast reading settings that make the text extra large and readable. Poorly printed texts present no problem with the background suppressor.
Your visual field determines the size of the screen. Visually impaired people with macular degeneration predominantly have a wide visual field and should choose a large 32” or 43” screen. People with a narrow visual field tend to prefer to choose a smaller screen. Reading with the right screen is more comfortable and faster because you don’t have to adjust the reading table as much. You have more of an overview and are less tired if you can see a full column width on the screen.
The Vocatex offers screens with a diagonal 27” (68 cm), 32” (82 cm) and even 43” (109 cm).
For optimum ergonomics, the screens can be tilted or adjusted in height.
The Vocatex is a magnifier with the addition of speech, this combination makes reading pleasant and less tiring. With the Vocatex you can select the text on the screen and it will start reading out immediately. A red rectangle around the word follows the text. In this way you know where you are and you maintain the overview on the page. While the Vocatex reads out you see the words enlarged on the screen.
Thanks to the intelligent readout function, Vocatex can read entire pages without pauses and this is simply by moving the reading table and the text. When moving the reading table the new text is incorporated and the Vocatex just continues reading.
The Vocatex can read a whole A4 page by setting the magnification to its smallest size, the whole page is then able to be read aloud to you, you no longer need to move the reading table.
The Vocatex is unique by preserving an overview, you no longer have to switch between magnification and speech mode. The unit always shows the real-time video picture. This means the device is very quick and the layout of titles, columns and photographs is always preserved
The Vocatex has over 30 languages and a wide selection of male or female voices in different dialects to make your experience pleasant.
