 Plustek Book Reader : Plustek Inc, a manufacturer of consumer, prosumer and professional imaging devices, announced today that the company will be exhibiting the Plustek Book Reader at the International Conference on Technology and Persons with Disabilities at California University. The Book Reader comes with optical character recognition (OCR), and text-to-speech (TTS) software, both of which allow the scanner to copy and "read" the documents scanned. To use these features, the user just places a book on the screen and at the press of one button, the book is scanned for "reading" pleasure. With a single one-touch button, the Book Reader transforms printed words into audio output, which can be saved in MP3 format for future access.
