Zoom-Twix
A Dream Product for Low Vision Students
Zoom-Twix can assist students in the classroom with viewing the blackboard, saving and reading their textbooks, and taking written tests.
Zoom-Twix is extremely easy to use, the foldable stand holds two cameras:
Zoom-Ex is a still digital scanning camera that is always at the exact position needed to create a clear image. Low Vision users know exactly where to place the material to be read because they can touch and feel L-shaped edges of the stand.
Zoom-Frog is a flexible auto-focus CCTV camera that allows to view and save magnified image of the blackboard and write under magnification. ZoomFrog automatically focuses on objects and printed matter be they one foot or one hundred feet away from the user and projects images magnified up to 50 times onto a computer screen. Keyboard keys control zoom, brightness, contrast, colors.
Features of Zoom Frog:
- Frog is a 1 lb video CCTV camera in Zoom-Twix
- Frog allows the user to view either close or distant objects, for example, the blackboard or a book text
- It rotates 360 degrees around both axes
- The video camera has auto-focus
- Keyboard keys control the optical zoom from 1x to 50x
- Snapshots can be saved on your PC hard drive, a CD, a DVD, or key chain memory

Like Zoom-Ex, Zoom-Twix is a multi-tasking device that seamlessly integrates an instant scanner and the fastest OCR. It allows you to convert any printed text into multiple accessible formats like speech, large print, sound or text file, etc. in seconds.
