Take a picture – hear the words on your mobile phone

An image of the CapturaTalk 3

We mentioned CapturaTalk in a newsletter last year – a clever program that allows your Windows Mobile phone to take a photo of written text and then have it read aloud to you in a clear UK English voice! It will also read aloud text in documents on the phone – including emails, SMS messages and web pages visited. PDF files can now be read aloud too.

Version 3 of the program has just been released and is definitely worth a look. Click here to download a free 30 day trial of CapturaTalk Version 3. Or visit the Spectronics website for information on compatible phones; to view a video of CapturaTalk in action; or to read case studies from successful users of this fully portable way of supporting people who struggle with reading! The program even includes the Concise Oxford English dictionary, if you don’t understand a word simply select it and have the definition read to you by your phone. Truly mobile learning!
