Rediscover the joys of reading with the award-winning ClearReader Basic, combining fast text-to-speech, a choice of high quality naturally sounding voices, and all in an attractive portable design.

Simply plug-in, switch-on, scan your printed reading material and start listening in an instant.

Designed for everyday living
Imagine being able to listen to any kind of printed material within a matter of seconds, and all at the press of a button. With the ClearReader Basic accessing printed documents such as magazines, newspapers, books or a letter from a friend has never been easier.

Use anytime around the house or work.
The ClearReader Basic offers all the benefits of the ClearReader without the facility of on-board rechargeable batteries.

Using the convenient in-built handle, the ClearReader Basic can be used around the home, on holiday, at school or at work, making it ideal for reading a recipe in the kitchen, a book in the library, today's newspaper in your favourite chair or reviewing bills at a table.

The ClearReader Basic is easily adjusted to playback at a more comfortable reading speed and volume. You can even connect a separate set of headphones and listen discretely.
