The following items are available to borrow from the library:
OrCam Read
This is a small handheld device that reads text aloud and is helpful for people who experience difficulty with reading. It can be used on any text from newspapers and emails to printed books and digital content. The device is small enough to be easily portable and no WiFi is required.
More detailed information about OrCam Read can be found on their website.
You can check whether the OrCam Read is currently available to borrow here.
Coloured Reading Overlays
These are thin pieces of transparent, coloured plastic that can be placed over text to help reduce visual stress and help improve reading.
They are available in various colours as not all colours are beneficial to all people. Therefore if you are new to using coloured overlays it is worth experimenting with different colours to see which work best for you.
The overlays are available in the library’s quiet study area and can be borrowed.
