TextScout can do even more!

TextScout's many additional features make your mobile reading assistant a perfect complement for every day:

Alignment Assistant and Image Stabilisation

A sharp picture is the basis for any successful text recognition. TextScout helps you with that. Its alignment assistant tells you when your mobile phone is in a good position towards the text. Image stabilisation prevents you from taking blurry images on which texts cannot be recognised.

Clear & Distinct Voice Output

TextScout uses pleasant and natural-sounding voices. You can adjust the speaker's type, pace and pitch to your individual preferences.

Source Recognition

TextScout is optimised for the recognition of printed text and supports a number of modes for different sources, e.g. newspapers with small fonts or consumer product packaging.
We continuously add new features and improvements to TextScout. Thanks to the product's client-server architecture, you can enjoy each new release immediately without having to buy an update or install new software.

Template Quality Feedback

As soon as you have taken a picture, TextScout informs you in detail about the picture quality. You get immediate feedback about page orientation, whether text has been cropped, or if the text was too small to be recognised. And if you happen to photograph a book upside down and don't know which page to turn, TextScout will tell you.

Browsing Recognised Texts

You can easily navigate within processed texts and set bookmarks in order to retrieve important sections. Browse a text per paragraph, meaning, word or letter, quickly and comfortably. Each text is structured with a Table of Contents (TOC) - access interesting paragraphs with a single key stroke.

High-Contrast Visuals

If you can use the display of your mobile phone, use the viewfinder picture to align the camera with the source text. You can adjust the font size, display orientation and colour contrast for a user-friendly reading experience. TextScout automatically selects the currently narrated text in the display, so you'll always know where you are.

Transfer Results to Your PC

TextScout saves your texts as a Word document or a plain text file. Have the texts sent to your computer via e-mail, or transfer them via a data cable. A built-in browser helps you to find needed information on your mobile phone.

Large Choice of Phone Models

Tastes and preferences differ, therefore you should be able to use the type of phone you're most familiar with. TextScout supports many current Nokia builds with high-resolution cameras, and is continuously developed to support further models. To see a list of supported phones, click here.

Screen Reader & Braille Terminal Compatible

TextScout is 100% compatible to the popular screen readers Mobile Speak and Talks. A special reading mode enables you to have the processed text read to you by your installed screen reader. TextScout can also output text to a braille terminal.

Attractive Licensing Model

With TextScout, you won't get any nasty surprises. Your license can be easily transferred when you change your phone. The price includes all updates of existing features.
