Every device is personal and customised. Based on your visual field we advise a 22”, 27”, 32” or even a 43” screen. KOBA Vision is the only manufacturer with this unique offer of screens. Specific settings exist for, among others, macula degeneration, tunnel vision and photophobia to increase the comfort.

The Vocatex is a multimedia centre. The high contrast screen can show the magnified text of your computer, television or tablet. With the computer connection and a magnifying program you can even work in split screen whereby the image of the magnifier and your computer can be seen on 1 screen simultaneously.

Magnification to read yourself

The Vocatex has a Full HD camera which results in a high contrast and razor-sharp images. The picture is extremely stable and steady. The magnifier has an extra wide viewing angle of 23 cm to read page-wide The Vocatex allows you to look at photographs of your children and grandchildren, read newspapers and magazines, write letters, do crossword puzzles and solve sudokus again.

The Vocatex has various high contrast reading settings that make the text extra large and readable. Poorly printed texts present no problem with the background suppressor.

Big or small screen – size matters!

Your visual field determines the size of the screen. Visually impaired people with macular degeneration predominantly have a wide visual field and should choose a large 32” or 43” screen. People with a narrow visual field choose a smaller screen. Reading with the right screen is more comfortable and faster because you don’t have to move the reading table much. You have more of an overview and are less tired if you can see a full column width on the screen.

The Vocatex offers screens with a diagonal of 22” (56 cm), 27” (68 cm), 32” (82 cm) and even 43” (109 cm). KOBA Vision is the only manufacturer with this unique range of screens. We aim to utilise all your remaining vision with our choice of screens.

For optimum ergonomics, the screens can be tilted or adjusted in height. A correct seating position is necessary for pleasant reading.

Readout – The Vocatex talks

The Vocatex is a readout magnifier. This combination of screen magnifier and readout device makes reading pleasant and less tiring. With the Vocatex you select the text on the screen. Reading out starts immediately. A red rectangle around the word follows the text. In this way you know where you are and you maintain the overview on the page. While the Vocatex reads out you see the words enlarged on the screen.

Intelligent readout function

Thanks to the intelligent readout function, Vocatex reads entire pages without irritating pauses and this simply by moving the reading table and the text. When moving the reading table the new text is incorporated and the Vocatex just continues reading.
