Prodigi Connect 12 - Smart Portable Magnifier

Humanware Prodigi Connect 12 with yellow text on a black background.

The Prodigi Connect 12 by HumanWare is a portable, full-featured digital magnifier and Android-tablet hybrid designed to help people with low vision read, work, study, and stay connected. It combines the flexibility of a tablet — with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, apps, email, and cloud services — with a powerful magnification, OCR and text-to-speech system so that printed materials, books, notes, or images can be enlarged, scanned, read aloud, saved, or shared. The result is a single device that can replace a magnifier, reading stand, reading assistant, and even a basic computer — enabling greater independence at school, work, or home.

Prodigi Connect 12 Product Features

  • Powerful magnification: Live magnification from 1× up to 40×, and up to 80× when zooming captured images — ideal for reading.
  • Full HD 12-inch touchscreen tablet: A sharp, gesture-enabled display that doubles as a tablet for apps, email, web browsing, and more, its not just a magnifier.
  • OCR + Text-to-Speech: Built-in optical character recognition (OCR) translates printed text (in dozens of languages) into digital text, which can then be read aloud — reducing eye strain and helping users who prefer audio.
  • Flexible reading & customization: Multiple reading modes (full page / column / line), customizable contrast/color schemes and fonts, “Diamond Edge” clarity, and adjustable lighting for comfort.
  • Portability and versatility: The unit folds into a carry case, and with optional external distance-viewing camera (e.g., 10× or 25×) it can also be used for distant reading (whiteboards, signs, etc.). Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and standard Android features mean you get a full tablet environment plus accessibility tools.
