With minimal set-up, you can capture and read everything from small text, such as product packaging, all the way to large, A3 documents. Once you’re done, fold in the arm and stow it away… until your next journey!

How does the Odyssey Desktop Reader change your life?

The Odyssey Desktop Reader turns letters, books, magazines, newspaper articles, medicine boxes, food packaging or any other printed text, whether written vertically or horizontally, into speech and reads it aloud. You can even save all the text you read by pressing and holding the menu button while reading. Up to 1,000 original texts can be stored in the built-in memory. It’s that simple.
