Additional features for low vision users
ReadEasy Evolve has many additional features for low vision users. This
section is only useful for users with some usable vision who also have their
ReadEasy Evolve connected to computer monitor or television.
Documents can be magnified, highlighted, automatically scrolled, contrast
and colour enhanced and more, to make reading far easier than with
traditional video magnifiers or reading machines.
Modes for Reading and Writing
ReadEasy Evolve features 3 main modes for reading and writing:
1. Live mode
2. Writing mode
3. Document mode
1. Live mode
Live mode is used for magnifying and colour enhancing documents to make
them easier to read with your eyes (without speech). It is ideal for viewing
small pieces of information such as phone numbers, addresses or
medicine bottles.
You can then move around the document using the Joystick. This can be
far easier and faster than sliding a document around under the camera as
you would with a traditional video magnifier.
2. Writing mode
This is only accessible when in Live mode. It provides a much higher frame
rate from the camera (at the expense of some image quality) and allows
users to magnify as they write in real time. Please note, for best results, the
camera must be positioned in the A4 location.
