Subject: The ReadEasy Move Has Arrived, Dan's Tip for May 14 2013
The ReadEasy Move Has Arrived
ReadEasy Move is an easy to use all-in-one portable device that reads to you.
ReadEasy Move will read practically any printed text out loud within seconds,
in a clear human sounding voice.
Simply line up your document or book against the right hand edge of ReadEasy
Move's case, press the "Capture" button and within a few seconds your print
material is being read out loud to you.
Who is the ReadEasy Move For?
ReadEasy Move is for anyone who needs quick, easy and accurate access to
printed material.
ReadEasy Move has an intuitive and tactile design that makes it an ideal
solution for people with all levels of vision from low vision to total
blindness.
The one button operation of the ReadEasy Move makes it suitable for people of
all ages whether you are 4 or 104!
ReadEasy Move could be the perfect reading system for you if:
a.. You find it difficult to read with a magnifying glass.
b.. You would like to be more independent and be able to read your own
documents (mail, newspapers, bills, etc.).
c.. You have a learning disability such as dyslexia and benefit from
listening to text read to you out loud.
d.. You find reading with a video magnifier (CCTV) too difficult because you
can't fit enough characters on the screen to read at your desired pace.
e.. You find the constant movement of text on a video magnifier's screen
makes your eyes fatigued or gives you a nauseous feeling.
f.. You already have a reading machine but wish it was faster, more accurate
and had more features.
g.. You have a degenerative eye condition and would like a system that is
suitable both now and for the future.
What are ReadEasy Move's Benefits?

reading machines including:

"Lord Jesus, grant this day, to direct and sanctify, to rule and govern our
hearts and bodies, so that all our thoughts, words and deeds may be according
to your Father's law and thus may we be saved and protected through your mighty
help."
Psalm 102:2-3,16-21
2 Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to
me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
3 For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.
16 For the LORD will build up Zion, he will appear in his glory;
17 he will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their
supplication.
18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet unborn
may praise the LORD:
19 that he looked down from his holy height, from heaven the LORD looked at the
earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to
die;
21 that men may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his
praise
