A camera transmits a picture of print materials onto a screen where it can be read in an enlarged form. The print can be magnified up to sixty times. These special prisms are used to help people who have recently lost their side vision to see what is around them. These prisms act as a training tool to help people expand their side vision. Large print publications are printed with large type and are easier for people with low vision to read.
Many libraries carry large print materials.
Other large print materials include telephone dials, calculators and needle threaders. Computer-operated voice synthesizers include talking calculators and talking computers. Talking books are audio tapes of actual books as read by narrators on tape cassette or compact disks. Gratiot Clinton Twp. E. 8 Mile Rd.
