Scan and Read

Scanning and reading technology combines the use of a scanner or camera and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to create digital images of printed material then recognize and translate graphical characters into electronic text. This text is then read aloud using Text to Speech software and can be navigated, edited, and saved for later reading.
