Awesome note taking tool
The useful annotation tool provides the ability to draw, write, zoom and pan in the image. You can easily choose to navigate between different images and there are several different functions for inserting text, drawing and writing with a "regular" pen or highlighter pen in different colors and sizes. You can also save and open the image on which you made notes. The tool is, for example, ideal for marking texts or filling in forms or samples that can then be easily saved or forwarded.

Simultaneous image from several cameras
MagniLink Viewer can display images simultaneously from several connected MagniLink video magnifiers if desired. As a user, you can easily share the image in different ways in the software so that the camera images are displayed at the same time, e.g. image from a distance camera and a reading camera. This can be very practical for, for example, a school student in the classroom who wants to be able to see (using the distance camera) what the teacher is doing in front of the blackboard, and at the same time see (using the reading camera) an enlarged image from his textbook.

Support for motorized cameras in the MagniLink AIR family
If you use motorized cameras from our latest product family MagniLink AIR, you can control the cameras directly from the software via icons, via the keyboard or by dragging the mouse pointer in the camera image. It is also possible to save up to three different camera positions, which makes it easier for, for example, a student who needs to quickly switch between different camera positions. Then he can e.g. go from seeing the teacher at the blackboard to, in the next moment, with just one press of a button, move the camera to a saved position where it e.g. looking at the door when someone enters the classroom.

AI unlocks a new dimension of possibilities
AI is offered as an option to the MagniLink Viewer and makes our powerful visual aids even better. For example, you can place a newspaper article under the reading camera and have it summarized or translated into another language just by typing or saying a command. It is also possible to ask general questions about basically anything and get answers immediately. Another example is asking to have an OCR number or an amount to be paid on a paper invoice, identified and read aloud. Or why not ask who the sender is. This enables lots of possibilities and what was previously difficult has now become easy. More exciting AI features will be added shortly. Contact us if you would like more information or wish to order a license. There is also a 15-day evaluation license available for those who want to test the new features.

TTS
With TTS, it is possible to OCR a text and have it read out using the built-in speech synthesis. The OCR-processed text can be displayed in several different image display modes synchronized with speech. It is possible to OCR-process text from an image taken with the connected MagniLink camera, but it is also possible to drag other documents into the program to have them OCR-processed. It is possible to save what is OCRed as an audio file (.wav) and you can enlarge and navigate the OCR image. It is also possible to paste text directly into the program to have it read aloud. It is also possible to use the software independently/standalone, i.e. without a connected reading camera. Then you can have already saved text or image documents OCR-processed and the text read out by speech synthesis.
