The text can also be saved and opened in a text editor for proofing or processing. Up to a full A4 page (US Letter) can be scanned at once and by using keyboard commands you can quickly and efficiently scan multiple pages in a matter of seconds.

Color, contrast and magnification can be changed while the text is being read or scrolled on the screen in silence mode. It's also possible to connect headphones if you don't want to be disturbed by or disturbing your surroundings while listening.

Voice feedback

MagniLink S Premium TTS is easy to use, partly thanks to built in voice feedback in the menus. Available languages are Flemish, Dutch, Danish, British, American and Australian English, Russian, Finnish, French, Italian, German, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.

Automatic language detection

The software automatically detects the language being used in the text and reads the text with a corresponding voice.

Superior image quality

60 full digital frames per second ensure no ghosting on the screen. This, together with high brightness and contrast, a high-quality, light-sensitive camera, HDMI connection and a Full HD camera creates a flicker-free and pleasant image with sharp edges. All this results in a stunning and superior image quality!

The latest technology

Super-speed USB 3.0 connection - ten times faster and backwards compatible with USB 2.0. HDMI connection to monitor - for fast and stable connection. The user will never worry about battery strength or misplaced battery chargers as the system is powered by the computer.

Compatibility

MagniLink S is continuously updated for perfect compatibility with the latest operating systems for PC and Mac. Its software is also designed to run in conjunction with external low vision software like SuperNova and ZoomText.

This trial software for MagniLink S / Pro / Vision / Zip is completely free and fully functional for 30 minutes before you have to restart the program again. Please note that the latest versions will be automatically installed if True Update is activated.

MagniLink S - updates in version (7.4.8)

Some bugfixes from v. 7.3.8

MagniLink S - updates in version (7.3.8)

• Automatic adaptation of the "gaps" between the words - which gives longer break at slow reading speed and short break at faster reading speed. This improves the voice and creates a better audio experience for anyone listening.
• Shortcut key to activate MagniLink S window makes it easier to reach the video magnifier. Press F8 to get started directly from a minimized state.
• Automatic language detection. MagniLink S can now even recognize several different languages in the same paper. Language and voice are changed instantly, completely automatically.
• Possibility to choose any of the fonts installed on the users computer for displaying text in TTS mode. This allows the user to, for example, get text presented with special fonts adapted for dyslexics.
• Improved functionality together with ZoomText 10. AiSquared has now refreshed its CCTV interface. This makes ZoomText performance less "heavy" on some computers and ZoomText now interacts better with MagniLink S.
• Column Selector to help the user to choose which part of the paper to be read aloud, for example if the user wants to read a selected column in a newspaper.
• Enhanced functionality for video recording.

And last but not least
• Select (CTRL + F4) to put text from different scans together in the OCR mode into a single document, which then can be read in its entirety. This along with "Smart Smart" makes scanning extremely fast and feature also works while text is being read out.
