Ideal Lighting Every Time with Uniform LEDs
Harsh reflections and shadows can make reading with low vision extremely difficult. On the other hand, the Acuity 22 Speech is equipped with LED lighting that provides uniform, shadow-free illumination across your entire reading material. You won’t have to fiddle with your document or screen to mitigate shadows. The built-in LEDs create bright, even lighting and eliminate reflections on all your magnified text and images. Paired with the glare-free screen, the Acuity’s high-quality LEDs reduce eye strain, improve contrast and visibility, and ultimately make reading easier, even for extended periods.

Why a Dedicated Desktop Video Magnifier?
If you are considering purchasing your first desktop magnifier, you may be wondering why a dedicated magnifier is necessary, particularly if you already have access to computer software or other applications that provide magnification and/or text-to-speech. While these types of programs can be useful and economical for people with low vision, a dedicated device like the Acuity 22 Speech offers several advantages:
- Specialized Functionality: A desktop magnifier like the Acuity 22 Speech allows you to focus solely on reading, writing or viewing tasks, and gives you greater access to tangible, hard-copy print and images. You can access items such as books, newspapers, magazines, paperwork, prescriptions, recipes, photo albums, and more using Acuity’s powerful magnification, text-to-speech, or a combination of the two features.
- All-in-One Solution: Rather than running multiple software applications that may or may not produce accurate results, you can depend on a high-quality desktop magnifier like Acuity for an accurate, convenient and consistent reading experience. It’s one device that combines magnification, text-to-speech, and uniform lighting for the ultimate low vision reading aid.
- Usability: The Acuity is very user-friendly and simpler to operate than many software solutions, with dedicated hardware that performs consistently. It’s a great tool for the home, office, or classroom setting.
If you are dealing with progressive vision loss, you may find the need to expand your technology toolbox as your vision worsens. For a detailed overview of magnifiers for low vision, including desktop magnifiers, check out our blog.
