Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
OCR captures and processes multiple pages of print text, allowing users to choose between reading from the 7-inch LCD touchscreen or listening to text-to-speech (TTS).
Zoom in/out (2-30x magnification)
Use Juno’s boldly colored buttons to zoom in and out (up to 30x) of live view or captured images. Magnify items up-close, at a distance, and even yourself
Scroll up or down with arrows
Use arrow buttons to navigate through any snapshots or pan around magnified images captured with the device’s camera. These same buttons also allow you to choose between 24 high-contrast color modes.
180-degree barrel camera
Juno’s barrel camera can rotate 180 degrees to support five camera modes: Self-view, Reading-view, Distance-view, Writing-view, and Hobby-view.
Stand
The stand located on the back of the device allows users to adjust the portable magnifier based on their needs in that particular setting.
Going further to move things ahead.
