Parrot - A talking wonder for the blind and visually impaired

It is a dream come true for persons with their own business, working professionals or those self employed.

Technology never ceases to surprise us. The Parrot Plus V3 pocket size battery operated talking personal secretary manufactured by a company abroad is an ideal solution for the independence and self reliance of the blind, low vision, visually handicapped and persons suffering from reading problems like dyslexia. Now, you don’t need to ask others to read out the phone book, remind you of appointments, tell the time, inform you on the jobs to be done, take a dictation, or even make complicated calculations. This small wonder does it all for you.

Based on voice recognition technology, it performs seven speaking functions and is very easy to use. And what’s more, there is no language restriction either. It works not only in English but also in any Indian language with a voice feed back of your own voice. It is a lightweight, pocket size device using 4 AAA batteries and does not need any AC adapter. It also has computer connectivity for transfer of data.
