Orabis
The Orabis is both a reader and a HD magnifier in just one device. It is the
perfect combination to read text without getting tired. Just select the text that
you want to read and with the push of a button, a clear voice will immediately
start reading. With the Orabis, it will be less tiring for you to read text, books
and newspapers. It opens a completely new way to read!
Why Orabis?
- Many people with low vision are tired after reading text for just 15 minutes, so reading a long
article is almost impossible. With the Orabis, you can easily start the read-aloud function and
listen to text.
- People suffering from Macular Degeneration, Retinitis Pigmentosia, and other retinal degenerative
diseases have problems with reading continuously. The Orabis is designed to support daily reading
without limits.
- Just use one device to magnify and to read aloud. Why buy a separate video magnifier and a
reading machine or have a separate computer with scanner?
Read-Aloud Reader
- With the column selector (the vertical line in the middle of the screen), you can easily select a
text block or a column on the screen to read. Press the start button and 2 seconds later the
voice starts reading the text to you. A rectangle around the word follows the text. That way you
have a clear overview and you know your exact reading position.
- By having text read to you, you can reduce the magnification while having a better overview. You
only need to select the text and press a button to hear the text. It's a whole new way of reading
which enables you to read quicker, longer and to move your text around the screen less. No
more seasick feeling you get with other magnifiers.
- After pausing or sliding the text, the Orabis continues to read the correct part of the text.
- Volume, language and the reading speed are adjustable.
Magnifier
- Besides being a reader, Orabis is a magnifier with a magnification range from 2x up to 20x.
- Just turn the knob in the center of the Orabis to change the magnification. You can also change
the colors from picture mode to negative, positive or any other combination.
