Plustek BookReader V100

The Plustek BookReader V100 combines a standard book scanner with optical character recognition and text-to-speech software to turn the written word into speech.

Can position books so pages lie flat. Scans, recognizes text, and starts speaking the text with a single command.

Although the software translates text-to-speech reasonably well, it still falls short of a truly natural-sounding voice.

Review: Plustek BookReader V100

Do your eyes ache from slogging through the latest Harry Potter, waiting for the now-legal Hermione to finally let her hair down and get jiggy?...

Reads books to you at the push of a button. Platen glass goes right to the edge to accommodate books without strain. Turns text into MP3s for portability. Includes several accessibility features to help the visually impaired

The included software lacks polish and seems rushed. Squat, ugly looks make it seem at home in a cubicle farm. The reader voice may not screw up often, but when it does, it’s a doozy. High price nears gouging territory
