Accessible World presents Eye-Pal by Louis Herrera

Accessible World's Tek Talk is pleased to present Louis Herrera and the Eye-PAL, and Eye-PAL SOLO. The EYE-PAL is a stand-alone, computer driven scanner. It is a one-pound portable USB device. The foldable stand, designed specifically for the blind, holds a digital camera over the printed material to be scanned. The camera is always at the exact distance needed to create a clear image. There is no need to adjust the camera. Louis will describe how Eye-Pal's patented motion detector can scan 20 pages per minute. It is as simple as turning a page in your book and waiting for the shutter sound.

Learn how you can instantly convert printed material into refreshable Braille, speech, or text files.

Eye-Pal SOLO is a motion activated, self-contained reading device that instantly reads from any book or printed material. Just plug it in, place down a book or newspaper and it reads to you! By waving your hand near the reading material it will pause; wave your hand again and it resumes. Tune in to Tek Talk to learn all about these devices.
