What is it?
VisioBooks are portable video magnifiers designed to support individuals with low vision by enlarging printed materials and displaying them on a high-contrast screen. They typically include a built-in camera, adjustable magnification levels, and options for enhancing contrast or color settings. Lightweight and foldable, VisioBooks are ideal for classroom, home, or on-the-go use, helping users access text, images, and handwritten notes more easily.
How to use it?
To use a VisioBook, place the device on a flat surface and position the camera over the material you want to magnify—such as a worksheet or book. Use the controls to adjust magnification, brightness, or contrast settings to meet individual visual needs. The image appears on the built-in screen, allowing the user to read or view the content comfortably. Some models also allow users to switch between reading mode and distance viewing, such as seeing the front of a classroom.
Why use it?
VisioBooks promote independence and equitable access for students with low vision by making printed and visual materials easier to see. They reduce visual fatigue and support sustained focus during reading, writing, or classwork. In inclusive classrooms, VisioBooks help students participate more fully in academic tasks and follow along with instruction, ensuring they can engage with content alongside their peers.
