Reporter Smart
Reporter Smart
Lezen is vanzelfsprekend
Lezen wordt zeer eenvoudig met de Reporter Smart. Eén druk op de knop is
voldoende
om een tekst te laten scannen, herkennen en voorlezen.
Tekst uit een boek, een brief of een bankafschrift, in lijnen of kolommen:
de Reporter
Smart vindt er zijn weg in en leest het voor met klaar en helder stemgeluid.
Maar het toestel doet meer: het herkent tekst in meer dan twintig  talen en
leest
bestanden  van CD, USB of SD-geheugenkaart. Beluisterde teksten slaat het op
als
tekst of mp3.
De Reporter Smart leest voor, speelt muziek af, navigeert in Daisyboeken en
bewaart
wat voor jou belangrijk is.
De nieuwe Reporter Smart biedt je veel meer dan wat je van een
voorleestoestel had
durven dromen.
Een leestoestel dat overtuigt
De Reporter Smart is ontworpen voor iedereen die moeite heeft met lezen:
blinde en
slechtziende personen, maar ook personen die problemen hebben met gedrukte
tekst
om andere redenen zoals lees-, leer- of taalmoeilijkheden.
Als leestoestel is de Reporter Smart zo eenvoudig in gebruik, dat je
helemaal niets
van computers hoeft af te weten om ermee te kunnen lezen. Met één druk op de
knop
heb je een duidelijk resultaat.
De Reporter Smart ziet zelf hoe het blad ligt: dwars, rechtop of
ondersteboven, de
oriëntatie van de tekst en de positie van het blad maken niet uit.
De foutenmarge is gering, de geluidskwaliteit is superieur, de meegeleverde
stemmen
zijn uitstekend en garanderen een duidelijke verstaanbaarheid.
Functionaliteit voor wie meer wil
De Reporter Smart is flexibel en past zich aan je profiel aan. Afhankelijk
van je
noden kan het toestel op twee verschillende manieren ingesteld worden: basis
of gevorderd.
Heb je vooral nood aan een toestel dat tekst scant en voorleest zonder op
bijkomende
functies beroep te doen, dan blijft de Reporter Smart ingesteld in zijn
basismodus.
Extra functies zijn uitgeschakeld en brengen je niet in verwarring.
Voor gevorderde gebruikers heeft de Reporter Smart alles in huis om teksten
niet
alleen te beluisteren, maar ze ook op te slaan, erin te navigeren, ze te
beheren,
te bewaren en te delen.
Door het invoeren van een eenvoudige toetsencombinatie schakelt de Reporter
Smart
over naar zijn uitgebreide modus met tal van extra functies.
Overzicht van de functies
Eenvoudig gebruik
Scannen, tekst laten herkennen en laten voorlezen
Pauzeren en doorgaan met lezen
Vooruit en achteruit per woord en per zin

Kolommen worden automatisch herkend en in de correcte volgorde gelezen. Je
kunt deze
functie aan- of uitzetten om tabellen, lijsten of uittreksels te lezen

Hi Steve
The link I gave in my email, I've clicked on it twice. It is the
English site, I mean, it is in English. Here again is the exact same
link which I have just coppied from my last email.
http://www.sensotec.be/products/detail.aspx?ID=349
I can't understand what's going on because you and Andrew say its in
another language but I'm reading it here in absolutely perfect
English, the exact same link I'm emailing and have previously emailed?
I have no idea what's wrong, but from my end, and rechecking the link,
this is definitely English.
