When used together with the Intel Portable Capture Station, large amounts of text, such as a chapter or an entire book, can be gathered for reading later. The Intel Reader can store and play back a wide choice of content including MP3, DAISY books, and text transferred from a PC. Users can play back content with lifelike voices, selecting gender, pitch, and speed to suit their personal preferences.Manufacturer: Humanware
