Scan & Read

Independence and privacy is maintained for people who are visually impaired, with the Scan & Read function in SuperNova.

As the name suggests, with SuperNova you can simply scan any printed information such as letters, magazine articles or appointment cards. SuperNova turns the printed words into speech, which it will then read aloud, so you can listen to the words printed.
