About TextScout

Turn Your Phone Into a Mobile Reading Assistant!

TextScout turns your camera phone into a mobile reading assistent. All you need to do is to take a picture of the text - TextScout will read it to you in a pleasing voice. The integrated alignment assistant helps you to align your mobile phone with the text. With TextScout, you will be able to
read texts anywhere, anytime, and independently - at home and on the road.
TextScout can be easily customised to your individual needs. Our online service myScout provides you with a set of tools for your processed texts. For example, you can have the resulting text sent to
you via e-mail.

Here's how TextScout works:

1. Align
Using the integrated alignment assistant, you choose the best position for your mobile phone towards
the text.
2. Shoot
TextScout automatically takes a picture as soon as you have reached the best position.
3. Read
TextScout quickly processes the data and starts reading the text to you in a clearly understandable
voice.
