Who uses Cicero?

Cicero is useful to people, young and old, who are either visually impaired or print impaired, whether technically comfortable or a complete beginner.

Independence
Whether at home or in the work environment, this means that your privacy does not have to be compromised: you can read letters however and whenever you choose without relying on other people. Independence is maintained and working practices remain unaffected.

Easy to use
Cicero starts talking automatically as soon as the page scan is complete. It is fast, accurate, and easy to use and includes context sensitive help. Start and stop speech instantly with a key press, or browse through a document using the cursor keys. Cicero comes with full lifetime technical support by telephone or email.

Large Print and Braille
For those with low vision, Cicero allows you to view your document on screen in large print. You can also choose high contrast colours and select your preferred font. Cicero also supports refreshable Braille displays, so that you can scan your printed correspondence and read it directly in Braille. Scanned text can also be exported directly to a Braille translation program for the production of embossed Braille documents.
