Abstract:
This presentation will introduce VisualScan, a new software
program that turns a computer and scanner into an intelligent
magnification and reading system. Designed specifically for the
visually impaired, VisualScan allows the user to magnify and read
printed and hand-written material, including books, magazines,
newspapers and pictures. Audience members will learn about the
features in VisualScan through a live demonstration.
The VisualScan seminar will cover the following topics in depth:
- Overview of features in VisualScan
- VisualScan on-screen controls
- Scanning and magnification of printed material
- VisualScan presentation modes
- Navigation and hands-free reading
- Form filling and magnified printing
- Saving image files
- Comparison of VisualScan vs. CCTV
The presentation will conclude with a question and answer session
as well as an opportunity for attendees to try out the product.
