The NEW Poet Compact allows you to read all kinds of printed text at the touch of a button. The Poet Compact is intuitive and easy to understand without having to study endless manuals.

Simply lay what you want to read on the glass plate and press scan. The Poet will do the rest for you. Although the Poet Compact is powerful it only needs a few keys to operate it. This makes it a popular system to use. Physically it’s one of the smallest systems available and fits neatly into any room. The speech is natural and human and it can be provided with different voices and languages if required. The Poet Compact is also fitted with a USB socket and can accept: Audio-CD, MP3, DAISY, TXT, RTF, and DOC formats for speaking out.
