The VisioBook S is the portable, foldable, lovable video magnifier for people who need access to a desktop magnification system, but want it in a conveniently designed shape and size that allows them to fold it away when not in use, and take it with them as they travel within a building, across town, or across the country.

Like all BAUM products, VisioBook S is a high-quality device that is easy to use, and aesthetically designed in attractive alluminum that also helps keep it relatively lightweight. Best of all, VisioBook S includes built-in batteries that provide 5 hours of continuous use. When not in use, VisioBook can be folded to about the size of a laptop computer. Perfect for storing in a drawer, or placing in a bag for portability.

VisioBook S uses an HD camera to magnify your documents (correspondence, newspapers, magazines, etc.) and photos wherever you are, from 1.8x to 30x magnification. With auto-focus, VisioBook S can even be used with curved materials such as a pill bottle. And because it’s portable, you can setup VisioBook in your kitchen as you read recipes, on a desk while reading, or take it with you when you travel. With VisioBook S, you’re able to read what you want, when and where you want to.
