What is SiRecognizer UMPC?

SiRecognizer UMPC is the world’s first portable system able to recognise flat and solid objects! SiRecognizer integrates the best hardware technology with advanced software strategies. A powerful UMPC, an ultra-compact calculator, as small as a palm device and with the versatility of Windows XP, allows information retrieval anytime, anywhere, in any situation. The powerful software along with the digital camera allows you to recognise any object, regardless of its shape or perspective. Two powerful speakers, a headphone jack and a stereo microphone make a perfect companion for everyday life. A joystick and seven special keys make the system completely accessible and independent.

SiRecognizer is a single product at an affordable price which guarantees independence for the blind and sight-impaired in at least six ways.

1. Thanks to an extremely high-quality OCR, SiRecognizer guarantees access to printed information. The results are always excellent and can be saved in over 50 formats, not to mention various hybrid formats specific for the sight-impaired (enlarged images and text). SiRecognizer easily recognises books, newspapers and complex layouts with tables. There are no issues with foreign languages as SiRecognizer functions in more than twenty, including Russian with its Cyrillic characters.

2. Thanks to a digital camera, SiRecognizer can tell objects apart. With a single key, SiRecognizer takes a snapshot, recognises and reads out the result, all in less than ten seconds. You can also listen to the text found on any object whether it be cubic, conic or cylindrical, a bottle, a can or a medicine even if outside of its package! Furthermore, text in books, magazines, newspapers, product instructions, expiry dates and text found on TVs or LCD displays can all be read.

3. Thanks to voice integrated synthesis, SiRecognizer guarantees access to information on the computer. There are no conflicts with existing Screen Readers as SiRecognizer is perfectly integrated with existing technology! And thanks to enlarging functions, SiRecognizer allows easy viewing of the images as the text is read.

4. By using a special pointer, SiRecognizer allows you to recognise colours. Just place the pointer next to any object, whether it be a jacket or a bottle. Take the snapshot and listen to the result.

5. SiRecognizer is able to read PDF files such as account balances, bills and e-newspapers. The text is automatically grouped together by the software and the tables are accessible with simple commands.

6. Thanks to its simplicity, SiRecognizer is available to everybody. And, with the special course, using the software becomes that much simpler.

If purchased separately, all the functions of SiRecognizer would require an investment of over 7.000 Euro. And that’s not considering the discernment of solid objects which is a SiRecognizer exclusive license.

SiRecognizer, the future is in your hands.
