Hi all On Monday morning I take delivery of one of these electronic readers. Would anybody be interested in a blog-based, and also an audio review of the product, giving demonstrations of how it works with various document types I know that this isn’t exactly new technology. Well, the firmware is, but the hardware has been around for a while. But it still has technical specifications that are above those in use today in main stream technologies. For instance, it has and always has had two 5 mega-pixel cameras which scan your document in very high resolution. The Eye-Pal is one of those boxes which come in various designs. For instance, the Eye-Pal Ace has a built-in magnifier and screen to enlarge text by up to 10 times its normal size. That model incorporates speech-guided technology, just as the ROL does. The ROL does not have the magnification elements, which suits me fine as I have no use for a magnifier.
The ROL also has a built-in planner, (for some reason), so that you can schedule appointments and be alerted when they occur. I’m not sure what the speech is like yet, but I’ll find out on Monday when it arrives. If anybody would like to hear my review, or read it and see pictures of the unit, please let me know. Let me know also which format would be best for you, audio or written.
