SARA
Freedom Scientific's SARA™ (Scanning and Reading Appliance) is an affordable and easy-to-use solution for those with low vision or who are blind or deaf-blind. The SARA enables the reading of a wide variety of printed material including books, documents, mail, newspapers, magazines, and so much more. Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, the SARA works like a computer scanner that recognizes text, translates it into speech, then reads the text aloud.
- Navigation keys are easy to find, so the user can read a word or a line at a time, fast forward, rewind, and move up and down the scanned page.
- The speech rate and volume are easily adjusted. Even choose the human-sounding reading voice of your preference with SARA’s built-in RealSpeak™ synthesizer.
