Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the Eye-Pal Ace device.
ABiSee’s Eye-Pal Ace (hereafter referred to as the Ace) is a portable electronic text-to-
speech device for people with visual impairment and for those who are blind. The Ace
is compatible with select refreshable Braille displays, allowing nearly instant conversion
of text to Braille.
Characterized by a contemporary design with time-tested simple controls, the Ace has
internal speakers, a rechargeable, user-replaceable battery, and a 10-inch built-in
screen. The text is displayed in magnified font and read aloud in a natural-sounding
voice. The Ace can be used as an electronic photo album, magnifier, alarm clock, and
an appointment reminder as well.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact ABiSee, Inc. at 855-354-4080
or by email at [e-mail]. We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope
you enjoy using your Ace.
