"In the past, I have typically looked things up when I’ve got home. Reading textbooks and journals however is a challenge, especially after a long day or night shift. The words often come out in the wrong order, I get confused and I have to start again. It becomes more acute the more facts that are packed into a paragraph. Fiction is a different matter however. Understanding the context makes it easier to read and its no big deal if you skip over the odd word."
"I started using CapturaTalk when I was at uni. Before my discovery, I was forced to undertake all my study on my laptop at home using Read Write Gold text-to-speech software.
CapturaTalk has helped me gain a better understanding of illnesses, drugs and treatments. Whilst on the move I can look things up on the internet, scan through documents, decide what is important and get it to read that specific section or page to me. It also highlights each of the words as they are spoken, so I can see as well as hear the information. Absorbing the content through two senses makes it considerably easier for me to recall information and absorb important medical facts."
