Affordable Accessibility

Text Cloner Pro from Premiere Assistive Technology will be going on sale later this month, as an alternative to expensive, bundled solutions. Text Cloner is a high-speed and high detailed scanner that allows documents to be quickly scanned into a computer for screen readers to give access to low-vision users.

The high speed mode is designed to find only text and scan it quickly. This mode is especially helpful for students, researchers and those who need to review pages of documents.

A test of the Text Cloner software using a low-end Dell computer running Window-Eyes software resulted in scanning and recognition of five pages a minute with 99% accuracy. The affordability of this software and the integration will allow users to have fast access without high-priced bundled alternatives, as many assistive products tend to be. Text Cloner also avoids proprietary formats, allowing users to export text to Word or other word processing programs.

Text Cloner Pro will retail for $99.
