DaVinci Pro: All in one Magnifier with Full Page Text-to-Speech

You can find the DaVinci Pro in the library's semicircle area next to the Service Desk!

The DaVinci Pro is a desktop with video magnifier (CCTV) featuring a 1080p camera and also featuring a full page text reading (OCR). 

The OCR feature allows for reading of whole pages or of reading a select area of a page from books or magazines.

The magnifier allows zoom in features and the DaVinci Pro will tell you which zoom level is reached or what level of brightness. The color contrast gives different options such as black on white, white on black and yellow on blue.

A demonstration video by The Chicago Lighthouse Assistive Technology Center provides excellent information on how to use the DaVinci Pro both the basic and advanced options. The DaVinci Pro has a pamphlet available to peruse on the operations of the desktop.  Using headphones is advisable to limit the audio portion of the reading to the user.
