This is the Very Easy Reading Appliance (VERA), which is a bo that you put a box on and push a button and it scans the book automatically and reads it to you in a nice voice. It is easy to speed iup or slow down and to go back and forth in the page and book. It costs thousands on www.freedomscientific.com, and I can sell this barely used one for only $850. So let people you know if this would help them read. Call CJ Sampson at 801 367 2559 or email homemail1@... anytime. Thanks, cj
