Vocatex Plus 26"
Continuous reading
Thanks to the new intelligent reading function you can
read entire pages with the Vocatex without disturbing
pauses by simply changing the position of the sliding
board. Reading a news paper article was never this
easy. You start the Vocatex and while the voice reads
out the text, you slide along the text. The Vocatex will
automatically make the connection and read without
intermissions.
Reading
The new Vocatex is the high quality HD
magnifying screen that allows you to magnify
texts and watch images. Furthermore, the
new Vocatex reads out even better than
before. The text is continuously read out as
you slide it through. The reading frame will
always follow the text and now you can also
follow with an on-screen indicator. The new
intelligent Vocatex is a highly technological
development that is ahead of any other
system in the world.
The success of the read aloud video magnifier is in the natural way of reading. Because
the texts are being read out, you can read a lot of text without feeling tired. With the
Vocatex you choose a piece of text and have it read out. This is a new way of reading and
it is a big step forward. It is a true reading revolution for the visually impaired.

Reading
Updating word frame
Any sliding of the text is automatically
recognised, this way the reading frame is
always shown in the correct position.
Progress indicator
With the new Vocatex you can follow the
progress of the text. On the bottom of the
screen you will find an indicator that shows
how far along you are in the text.
Live Image
You will always work with real-time video image, this does not create confusion
between the page and the on-screen text. Switching between both modes and loss of
layout are out of the question with the Vocatex.

Magnifying
Ergonomic height adjustment
The combination of the reading magnifier, computer
screen and television is the key to a true multimedia
centre. You can use the Vocatex anywhere. Finally
there is one device that offers you all the possibilities.
The Vocatex has a High Definition camera. The
HD image is razor sharp and provides high
contrasts and very vivid colours. Besides the
better quality of the image, the magnifier has a
very wide angle of 22 cm. You can see an A4 page
right across the width of the page. Whether you
are reading, looking at photos, writing or
crafting something, you will always be able to
pay attention to detail and maintain the
overview.
The screens are adjustable in height. By a simple movement of the screen you can move
the screen up and down. This way you can bring the screen up to the ideal reading height.
This solution is more ergonomic and provides even more working comfort.
Multimedia centre
Ergonomic operating board
Operating the Vocatex is very easy. The buttons are lit and easy
to find. Assisted by the spoken help messages you will
immediately find your way to magnification and you will be
able start the reading function without hesitation.

Large screens
Screen advice always starts with your own field of vision since your field of vision
determines the size of your screen. We try to use every inch of your field of vision. With
the right screen you will read more comfortably, faster and you will have a better
overview. The Vocatex offers you a choice between screens of 22”, 26”, 32”, and even
37”. The visually impaired with Macular Degeneration generally have a wide field of
vision, therefore it is best if they choose a wide screen of 32” or even 37”. Those who
have a narrow vision field, as is the case with Retinitis Pigmentosa, can choose a large or a
small screen. The right screen makes all the difference!
Vocatex Standard or Vocatex Plus
The new Vocatex is available in two versions. Operating comfort is the main focus
of the Vocatex Standard. If you prefer a wider range of functions, the Vocatex Plus
will be your ideal partner.
