FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GW Micro, Inc. Announces ReadEasy+!
GW Micro is proud to announce the ReadEasy+, a stand-alone digital
capture reading system specifically designed for the blind and
visually impaired.
The ReadEasy+ is compact, stylish, light-weight, and easy-to-use. The
ReadEasy+ has an intuitive user interface consisting of only 6 buttons
making it the ideal reading solution for blind or visually impaired
people of all ages, whether they are 4 or 104.
"This system has been designed for high accuracy and speed, but simple
for anyone to use," said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing for GW Micro.
According to Weirich, a blind or visually impaired person can read any
printed text by simply placing the text next to the ReadEasy+ and
pressing a button. The system takes a picture and then begins reading
the text in a clear, human-sounding voice within a matter of seconds.
The buttons located on the ReadEasy+ are tactile, making it easy to
use for a visually impaired user with any level of vision.
ReadEasy+ customers can add a Keypad Feature Pack to enable more
advanced functionality to the ReadEasy+, such as the ability to save
files to a USB flash drive. Individuals with Low vision can obtain
additional benefits from using the ReadEasy+ LV, which can connect to
a computer monitor to magnify text in addition to reading it. Add the
optional Touch Screen Feature Pack (touchscreen monitor sold
separately) and instantly turn the ReadEasy+ LV into the first-ever
reading system that supports multi-touch gestures much like those used
on the iPhone and iPad! Low vision users can quickly move around a
document, adjust magnification and start reading with the touch of
their fingertips!
For customers who need access to documents in foreign languages, such
as Spanish, French, German, Italian, and others; additional languages
can be easily added to the ReadEasy+. The ReadEasy+ is the first
stand-alone reading machine that can recognize and read multiple
languages automatically (additional languages sold separately).
The ReadEasy+ and ReadEasy+ LV will begin shipping soon and customers
can begin placing their orders today. Contact GW Micro or your local
GW Micro dealer regarding sales within the U.S. for more information.
