Tek Talk Presents An Unbelievably Comprehensive And Accessible Device

If you think you've heard and seen everything, you may be surprised when you
stop by the next Tek Talk training session sponsored by the Accessible
World. Here is why.
Did you know there is now a portable device that recognizes flat and solid
objects through the eyes of a digital camera! Did you know there is a
hand-held device that is a real computer with Windows XP and 60GB Hard Disk,
slightly bigger than a palm, able to recognize objects in less than ten
seconds? Did you know a device exists that can read books, magazines and
newspapers of any size and complexity up to two complete pages at a time,
text on boxes, bottles, cans, and medicines, as well as texts found on TVs
and LCD displays? Whatever the camera frames, the device reads and can
automatically adjust perspective, skew and shape of any object. It can
correct the framing of the picture through voice messages such as "move the
camera to the right", "move the camera backwards" and (in the new version
"turn the object 45 degrees to the right). It even has editing features,
voice recognition (command and dictation) and voice recording, MP3 features,
handwriting modules, bluetooth, wifi and much more. And because it has been
developed specifically for the blind, visual impaired and dyslexics, it is
completely accessible. Its name, you ask? SiRecognizer UMPC.
Don't miss the demonstration of this unique product and Larry Gassman's
interview with Marco Gregnanin, C.E.O. ITEX, Rome, Italy
