Eye-Pal for Blind and Deaf-Blind
Get up to speed with sighted people: use Eye-Pal to instantly convert
printed material to refreshable Braille, speech, or text file.
Eye-Pal is a one-pound foldable USB device that is faster than flatbed
scanners - it takes only a few seconds from a single keystroke to
speech or Braille output.
At home or away, even in the dark, Eye-Pal allows you to browse
through pile of letters and organize them either as paper or computer
files, read bound books, newspapers, or professional magazines and
save as text or sound with one click.

Ease of Use for the Blind
Blind users know exactly where to place the material to be scanned
because they can touch and feel L-shaped edges.
The foldable stand designed for the blind holds a digital camera over
the printed matter. The camera is always at the exact distance needed
to create a clear image.
Eye-Pal's patented motion detector allows scanning a bound book at 20
pages per minute. You turn a page over; wait half a second for the
shutter sound, turn again and again, it's that easy.
With a single keystroke you can easily start and stop scanning or
reading or get the description of the page layout spoken as a sighted
reader sees it.
The saved text can be carried anywhere and used with iPod, key chain
memory, CDs and more.
