A New Standard in Book Players… Revolutionary, Pocket-sized Multi-Players with Integrated Stand-alone OCR and MoreBlaze EZ and Blaze ET represent a merging of technologies that sets a new standard for portable DAISY players. For the first time, blind and visually impaired consumers have access to pocket-sized book players integrated with OCR text-to-speech to capture and read aloud hardcopy printed documents on-demand.

Access to Books, Music, Printed Text and More

Blaze ET features a numeric keypad and several useful apps including Color Reader, Calculator, Memo and an optional Dictionary. Both Blaze EZ and Blaze ET play audio books and music files from their internal memory or your SD card and connect through built-in Wi-Fi to access online media, podcasts and internet radio. They support more than 20 file formats including formats from BookShare, NLS and Learning Ally. They can also play your favorite music or podcasts. Create high-quality recordings using the internal microphone, external stereo microphone or stereo line-in, and enjoy live radio using the built-in FM Radio.

Stand-alone, One-touch OCR and Text-to-Speech

Use Blaze EZ and Blaze ET to read printed material like brochures, magazines, restaurant menus, government or business forms, class or meeting agendas and more. Wherever you go, just scan, and then listen as printed materials are read aloud, or save a scanned image for reading at your leisure. Just hold the unit parallel above the document, then click the OCR button. It’s that simple.

Intuitive, Large Button Navigation

Single-button access to books, music, radio and OCR means Blaze EZ and Blaze ET are ideal multi-players for many students, rehab clients and individual consumers, including seniors with age-related vision loss. Simple navigation, built-in Wi-Fi and a common sense menu structure makes Blaze the easiest-to-use book player available. DAISY, media and OCR support ensures endless hours of information and entertainment at the touch of a button.
