ONYX™ TOPAZ and ONYX Video Magnifiers: A Sweet System

"Video magnifiers have long been an important part of my patient evaluation. Freedom Scientific products definitely are great in performance. I really love the TOPAZ, and I love the ONYX Deskset. It’s a sweet system. I would recommend the entire line of Freedom Scientific low vision products.”
- Dr. Paul Anthony, OD - Springield, Illinois

ONYX™ Flexible-arm Magnification Keeps the Business Open

"I continue to run a small business out of my home. The demands of running this business include a lot of work in an office-like setting and lots of back-and-forth transitioning from task-to-task - things that can’t practically be accomplished with a stationary video magnifier.

The ONYX Flexible-arm model fits my needs to a T. With it, I can continually change my attention from signs and calendars located across the room, to applications and papers on my desk, to the tabs on the files in my filing cabinets, and back again, so quickly and easily. The Auto Focus feature is great because it means that I don’t have to change settings when I move the camera back and forth. I just point the camera at what I need to see, and I get a clear magnified image. Its flexible arm allows me to position the camera so that virtually everything in the room is visually available to me.

The bottom line is that the ONYX Flexible-arm enables me to continue doing something that I love doing, something that’s important to me, and something that provides a valuable service. Without ONYX, I probably would have had to close up shop!

Thanks, Freedom Scientific, for yet another invaluable low vision solution!”

OpenBook™ Scanning and Reading Software - Use it with Your iPOD®

"OpenBook 8.0 is the greatest version of OpenBook so far. Character recognition has come a long way. Being able to save as audio files is great. I can scan documents and then save them as audio. I can then take the MP3 file and put it on my iPod® or MP3 player, and take it with me. If I want to read, I am not tied down to a PC.”

TOPAZ™ Low Vision Magnifier Brings Joy to His Father's Heart

"The TOPAZ unit arrived today, and I quickly had it up and running for my father. We were both very pleased with the construction, ease of use, and high effectiveness. This was the first time in over a year he had been able to read any text without relying on a largely ineffective magnifying glass."

Walk-In Customer Thrilled with His TOPAZ

“I would like to say thank you very much for assisting my family in getting the TOPAZ Desktop Magnifier for my father. I wanted to let you know that your first walk-in client is very happy with his purchase. Once we picked the machine up, we went back to Orlando, set it up, and my father started putting it to good use. We understand that you don't have walk-ins, and we are were very appreciative of the help that we received. Thank you again for all of your help. ”
