This week Flying Blind, LLC is most pleased to be offering an EyePal Ace Scan & Read System for over 20% off of its suggested list price. This portable, OCR life-changer provides mobile battery-operated access to hardcopy print in both speech and large print on an easy to read display. Also, the EyePal Ace Scan & Read System offers an additional audio reminder application so that you don't miss those important appointments while you are reading your favorite book, magazine, or restaurant menu! This unit is just over 3 months old and has never been used by a customer - it's in phenomenal condition, and while we believe we could sell this unit for closer to its resale value, we're keen to find it a great home with a customer who reads a fair amount of hardcopy print audibly and visually. Price includes shipping within the Continental United States. This is a single unit that will be sold on a first come, first serve, basis. To be the first to secure this unit, please use the Buy Now link included below. For additional questions, or to purchase this product offline, email featu...@flying-blind.com or call +1 (216) 381-8107 today.
