A new scanner can turn any document into an audio document quickly and easily. Called BookReader, it scans books, magazines, or other documents, and then employs character recognition and text-to-speech software to play it back on your computer or portable audio device with an exceptionally human-like voice.
Its unique hardware design employs a patented technology called SEE™ (Shadow Elimination Element), which can scan up to the edge of a page without distorting the lines of text like traditional flatbed scanners. Scanned documents can be saved in text, RTF, MP3, WAV or PDF format for playback anytime and anywhere. BookReader also allows you to listen to PDF documents downloaded from the Internet. The PC compatible device will scan letter size documents and also includes graphic functions that allow users to read along.
