Your Wild Guide to the MagniLink Tab portable magnifier!
- 14 days ago
The MagniLink Tab is a portable video magnifier designed to help those with low vision by using its high quality camera in conjunction with customization options such as: magnification, brightness and contrast, alt colors, OCR and Text-to-Speech software. This device uses the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet to display and process information to make your life easier! The MagniLink's camera is capable of x10 optical zoom and is mounted on a flexible stand which can be swiveled and rotated freely.
While there are many use cases and applications for the MagniLink Tab, Luke has decided to have a little fun and take it into the great outdoors for some camping in the wilds of Wisconsin! Follow along with our Assistive Technology Expert as he struggles against the elements with nothing but his wit, a knife, and of course the MagniLink Tab!
