Low Vision Computer System – both near & distance viewing – same time, same screen
The lightweight Mercury 13 Portable Magnifier allows users to view both near & distance at the same time, on the same screen. A 2nd monitor is included for added viewing field. Along with built-in OCR, the Surface Pro tablet PC provides easy access to the Web, Zoom, Google Drive, e-mail, video recording, and anything you expect to do on a PC. Plus, users receive a large print bluetooth keyboard with a built-in track pad for easy mouse steering.
The Mercury 13 Pro is designed as a versatile solution that evolves alongside the demands of contemporary education. It offers a simplified interface that directly accesses the Magnifier/OCR function, ensuring seamless and instinctive navigation of the device. Advanced students can effortlessly transform the Mercury 13 Pro into a powerful Windows system for more complex tasks. Key benefits include the ability to magnify notes for easy reading, simultaneously read books and take notes, convert physical text into digital format, and have the flexibility to sit anywhere in the classroom while still being able to view the blackboard.
All-in-one low vision system
The Mercury 13 Portable Magnifier is a complete low vision system designed to replace a laptop, a magnifier and an OCR device. It’s powered by the latest Microsoft Windows tablet, the Surface Pro 8 with a large 13-inch screen to maximize viewing area. It folds into a compact size and fits into a laptop-size bag for maximum portability.
Listen to printed text and documents
The Mercury 13 Portable Magnifier includes highly accurate OCR to convert the printed word into text-to-speech. Documents can be stored and retrieved later to be spoken aloud in a variety of voices and languages. Various reading modes allow for the best possible experience.
Integrated USB Hub and LED
The Mercury 13 Portable Magnifier has an integrated USB Hub for peripherals such as a thumb drive and a bright LED to illuminate documents being read in a low-light environment. No separate charging cables are required as everything is powered by the tablet’s own battery using an integrated USB cable. This means there is only one device to charge and fewer wires to carry.
Dual Monitor
The Mercury 13 Portable Magnifier doubles the screen displays by adding an optional second screen on top. The lightweight screen can be angled for viewing comfort and is powered by a single cable connected to the tablet’s USB-C Port, which means no wall outlet is needed.
