HelpTech+ vs Personal Eyes

The perfect complement to the Activator: HelpTech+. HelpTech+ adds many new features to the Activator, Help Tech's latest braille display innovation, making it a next-generation Braille experience once and for all. Braille monitor The integrated Braille monitor allows a sighted person to follow the information output on the Braille display directly on the iPhone screen. Including the indication of the reading position, marked text and the cursor position. Dictation function With the speech input you can easily dictate texts instead of typing them yourself. The recognized text is then either saved in a new file on the Activator or inserted into an existing file at the desired position. Voice output The speech output function allows you to have texts on the Activator read aloud through the iPhone's speakers. File manager With "HelpTech+" you can copy files back and forth between the Activator and your iPhone. Send texts Send texts from the iPhone clipboard directly to the Activator. The connection with the iPhone expands the internal functions of the Activator by SmartServices. The first feature is a news feed service, optimized for the use with Braille displays, which you can put together according to your personal interests. Furthermore we are continuously developing "HelpTech+". Additional new functions will be provided regularly. As a result, we will continue to offer you a first-class experience in the future.

Useful readable text (signs, labels, prices) is mentioned only when it’s actually there.
