Another interesting new product at Reatech 2023 is the Omni Reader device by Tecassistiva, which allows blind people or those with some degree of visual impairment to read a book or printed text, not only through the traditional braille method, but also as a listener. The device captures a book page through a photograph and conveys the information contained in the print via audio. When connected to another company device, the Focus Blue, a person can simultaneously listen and read using the braille method.
“The equipment allows blind people or those with visual impairments to access printed content—a book, a magazine, a newsletter—in a simple way. People can listen to the content or use headphones for more privacy. And for people with low vision, the screen and text can be enlarged,” explains Wagner Bispo, commercial manager at Tecassistiva.
