Turn your iPad into a magnifier with Optaro XL

Welcome back Tech Connectors! Your favorite AT Specialists: Cory and Luke are back at it again bringing you the latest and greatest in Assistive Technology! Today we are showcasing an iPad centric magnifier called the Optaro XL, made by Eschenbach. This device uses a 11'' or 13'' iPad as a display screen, but its so much more than a simple stand. The two built in cameras allow for up to x22 zoom for close up reading or swap for a wider field of view designed for OCR scanning. There are even options for switching together OCR scans to accommodate reading larger bodies of text by gently moving the device overtop of whatever you'd like to have read aloud. As is now standard in modern magnifiers, you can easily adjust brightness, contrast and color modes using touchscreen buttons and the settings. But one of the things that sets the Optaro XL apart is its "Tell-Me" button which can instantaneously read a section aloud. Trust us, this feature is wicked fast! If iPads are not your style, then check out a previous video we did with Eschenbach's original Optaro made for the iPhone:    • Deep Dive: Optaro iPhone Low Vision Magnif...   We are happy to have you join us as we discuss this new and exciting portable electronic magnifier! 0:00 Start 0:20 Introduction and Physical Description 2:45 OCR Iconic Function 9:35 General Use: Magnification, Reading Lines, Colors and Contrast etc 13:55 Wrap Up Review of Optaro XL 14:50 LMS Courses for Free ACVREP Credits! 16:55 Goof #maculardegeneration #lowvision #visuallyimpaired #glaucoma #legallyblind #Magnifier #Portable #CCTV #OptaroXL #Optaro #ipad #maculardegeneration #lowvision #visuallyimpaired Call us: 414-615-0103 Email us: [email protected] Visit us online: https://www.vision-forward.org Online Store: https://www.vision-forward.org/store
