General Information

Video magnifiers and resources listed on this page are "tablet based", meaning the majority of the processing power is provided by a tablet of some sort. 

Tablet based solutions have become increasingly popular for those creating and using assistive technology since it allows (and encourages) smaller tech companies to acquire many of the major components for their products (such as the tablet and camera) and incorporate their own proprietary OCR software and develop/market the package as a unique custom solution.

This approach can cut down on duplication of devices and often reduce costs by eliminating unnecessary redundancies such as an additional video magnifiers when a camera added to a tablet will do the same job while utilizing less physical space and cognitive load by the user.

Please note: The MATT Connect and Connect 12 are both manufactured by the same company (Humanware) and are extremely similar. Additionally, many of the resources provided are a collaborative effort by APH and Humanware. Therefore, resources for the two devices are combined under one category for convenience.

Additionally, resources provided here apply to the Android version of the Prodigi Software, which is installed on both the MATT Connect and Connect 12 tablets.
