Whether you’re reading a restaurant menu, sorting your mail, or catching up on your favorite book, LyriQ makes it simple. With one button press, it captures printed text and begins reading aloud instantly, all without needing an internet connection.

Designed to offer rapid and accurate text-to-speech functionality, LyriQ is ideal for people with vision loss who want an intuitive solution to access printed material anytime and anywhere. Its lightweight design, rechargeable battery, and responsive voice output make it perfect for use at home, in classrooms, during travel, or in the workplace.

Unlike traditional desktop magnifiers or handheld OCR devices, LyriQ uses advanced AI to detect and read text with remarkable speed and precision. From mail and bills to books and labels, it’s your pocket-sized personal reader—ready whenever you need it.

Who the Product Helps

The LyriQ AI Assistive Text-to-Speech Reader is perfect for people with vision impairments who struggle to read printed text independently. It’s a powerful tool for individuals who are blind, have low vision, or experience print disabilities such as dyslexia. It’s also useful for seniors and others who face reading fatigue or eye strain when viewing standard print.

How the Product Works and Why It’s Different

LyriQ uses cutting-edge AI-powered OCR technology to capture and read printed material with the press of a single button. Simply place the device over a document and press the button—within seconds, the device begins reading aloud using a clear, human-sounding voice. It features a fold-out document guide for perfect alignment, built-in stereo speakers for rich audio, and optional headphone use for private listening. Unlike bulky desktop readers, LyriQ fits comfortably in your hand or bag and requires no technical setup or Wi-Fi connection to operate. This makes it a standout option for true on-the-go reading independence.

  • Simple to use: Just place the printed page on the LyriQ Reader’s surface to start listening.
  • Responsive: Provides immediate results and feedback, eliminating confusion and waiting.
  • Compact design: Folds flat for storage, similar to a laptop.
  • Intuitive: Minimal actions required, with large tactile buttons to assist every step.
  • Bluetooth-Enabled: Connects to external speakers or hearing aids.
  • Battery/AC Powered: The long-lasting battery allows for flexible use around the house or outdoors, or plug into an outlet if nearby.

  • Professionals can manage documents and printed materials more independently.
  • Seniors can enjoy reading letters, product labels, and recipes without relying on others.

"Working with NELVB has been a truly positive experience. I first connected with Scott over a decade ago to support one of my students, and his involvement made a lasting impact on both the student and their family. Since then, he’s continued to provide valuable support through demos and programs. It’s always been about what’s best for the kids, and that’s what matters most to me."

I could tell that he was extremely pleased at the thought of being able to once again manage his piles of papers. My hope is with that victory and order, he’ll feel empowered and ready to tackle some other matters in his life."
