On Tuesday 12th at Sight Village Birmingham we were lucky enough to have a prototype of the new Visio Book HD video magnifier over from Baum, Germany. Continuing the Visio range the Book really lives up to it's name, being not much bigger than a notebook PC and weighing only 3.5kg. This truly portable system packs an HD 12" LED screen and over 4 hours battery life as well as all the features you have come to expect from the Visio range of magnifiers.

It is due for launch in October so keep your eyes peeled for more news as the time approaches.

If you would like to see it the Visio Book will still be on show on Wednesday and Thursday, so why not come down to the stand at Sight Village Birmingham to get hands on. We are also running a competition to win a bottle of Champagne for the most creative idea of where you can use the Visio Book.

Hope to see you there!

iZoom has come a long way in the last year and we are happy to finally announce that v4.0 has arrived.

Back posture is a big problem within the VI market and with this in mind we have introduced a module into iZoom which is aimed at stopping bad posture.

PDF's are now much easier to read, will read out text and change font colours with smart align.

Personalise smart align colours and scroll bars allow you to pick colours appropriate for your needs.

Mouse wheel zoom has been added for increased functionality as well as finer magnification increments for better results.

The new iZoom Screen Magnifier & Reader from issist represents a leap in screen magnification technology. iZoom's patent-pending ClearPoint font smoothing maintains crystal clear text quality regardless of zoom level. iZoom makes viewing web pages and emails easier than ever with SmartAlign, our new patent-pending technology which doesn't require you to scroll horizontally over and over to read paragraphs extending beyond the screen.

You can carry your iZoom Screen Magnifier & Reader on a portable thumb drive and use it on any Windows compatible PC without administrative privileges or installation. Great for the professional user. Although most schools, libraries and public clusters prevent installation of any kind, most screen magnifiers require installation. iZoom is the only professional screen magnifier for PC's which allows you to use any computer, any where without licensing or installation issues. iZoom from issist works equally well on laptops and desktops with XP, Vista & Windows 7.

Best of all, iZoom Screen Magnifier & Reader from issist is affordable! At about half the price of most professional screen magnifiers, iZoom is without question the best value for your money. iZoom is the newest and  best speech/magnifier for professional vision services throughout the UK.

Call, email or download and lets us show how iZoom could help you. We like to take care of users with low vision and offer very high services throughout.
