Flick the solution for all the visually impaired students

Being a visually impaired student presents you with different challenges than a sighted student would normally experience. A typical student wouldn’t think twice about being able to read hand outs or books, or copying notes off the board or even writing your own. These tasks cannot be completed in the traditional way for a visually impaired student. Without help from another person or adaptive technology it becomes nearly impossible to succeed in the classroom.


Most visually impaired students want to remain independent and do not want to rely on another student or classroom aid for assistance. That is where adaptive technology comes in. In the past few years adaptive technology for students has come a long way.

The flick is the perfect solution for any kind of visual disability that you may be faced with.

Flick being easy to use it helps rather than distracting you. As other portable video magnifiers take time away from learning flick lets you do the work faster than ever before. The camera being design with the visually impaired in mind it is the simplest to operate. You will never find yourself troubleshooting ever again due to the great easy to use software that comes with along with is camera.

The flick is able to magnify anything it’s pointed at, up to 80x times with incredible image quality. Which Is grate when you look in the distance and at print while still having the same crystal clear sharp image, this one camera Is also able to (OCR). Having the ability read back any piece of paper that you decide to throw under the lens, taking the strain off your eyes and take in information in an auditory way/

The small sleek and compact design is great when you don’t really want to stand out and not become the center of attention. Carrying it around is not a struggle when your classes are not close to one another. Other than just removing the camera and arm of the base and slipping it in to its bag, letting it be carried around without an issue.

The flick has its own built in 9 hour battery, so it will not draining your laptop or windows tablet. Letting you get the most out of your assistive technology

Overall this camera is perfect for anything, being a student and telling you from my first hand experience I just can’t recommend this camera enough.
