Here comes digital desktop electronic magnifier

USA: HumanWare announces the immediate availability of Prodigi Desktop, the world's most advanced, all-digital desktop magnifier for people with low vision conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and other eye diseases.

Lower price than traditional CCTVs, the new Prodigi Desktop delivers features that people with low vision want and need, said a press release.

Unique Diamond Edge Text technology for crisp, clear reading at any magnification, and simple to use Touch and Tap controls that put everything at one's fingertips without having to use an X/Y table, it said.

"Users can magnify, read, and listen to whatever they want, save and retrieve family photos and important documents... With the new Prodigi Desktop, they enjoy a whole new quality of life," said a spokesperson.

While other CCTV systems with speech are heavy, expensive, and take a long time to load text, Prodigi Desktop is sleek, lightweight, and displays and reads your documents out loud in seconds.

The Prodigi Desktop is designed to easily adapt to unique visual needs and personal preferences, and even has a built-in tutorial that helps get up and running with it right out of the box. Just plug it in and get started.

The relase further added that Prodigi is available in three models: Prodigi Duo, a desktop unit with removable Tablet; Prodigi Tablet, the portable magnifier by itself; and Prodigi Desktop, the new Desktop model. All models are available now from HumanWare and its network of authorized dealers.
