Issist ReadDesk-Lite
$895.00
The ReadDesk-Lite is a small camera that you connect to a Windows computer by USB. It captures a printed page, such as a book, newspaper, label, or bill, then shows it enlarged on screen and reads it aloud in a natural-sounding voice. You can change the font, text color, and voice settings, and you can save scanned text as a PDF or MP3 file to use again later. It's a good fit if you have trouble reading standard print and want one tool that both magnifies and speaks. It weighs about 1.5 pounds, so you can move it around, but it needs a computer to work. The listed compatibility is older Windows versions (XP through 8), so check that it will run on your computer before you buy.

Switch2Scan for iPad
Est. $150–$350
Switch2Scan is a small Bluetooth switch interface that lets someone control an iPad using one or more wired switches instead of touching the screen. It scans through items on screen, either automatically or one step at a time by hand, so it works for apps, turning pages in iBooks, and typing on the on-screen keyboard. You can plug in up to four wired switches, pick from four scanning speeds, and scan forward or backward. This is the interface only, so you'll need your own switch or switches, and the listed compatibility covers older iPad, iPod and iPhone models.

LAMP Words for Life
$299.99
LAMP Words for Life is an AAC app, which means it gives someone a way to talk by tapping words and phrases on a screen that speaks them aloud. It uses a motor-planning approach, so each word stays in the same place on the screen and a person can learn to reach for it without searching. The vocabulary holds about 4,500 core and fringe words, and a Vocabulary Builder feature lets you teach just a few words at a time. It is offered in English, Spanish, Canadian French, and German, each with matching voices. It suits someone just starting to communicate who will need room to grow into full sentences. It runs on an Apple device, so check the app compatibility page before buying.

Photo Phone P300 Corded Picture Telephones by Clarity
$48.95
The P300 is a corded phone that makes incoming voices louder and clearer, with up to 18 dB of amplification.

It suits someone who misses some words on calls but can still follow a conversation, or who has trouble seeing or remembering numbers. A 3.5mm neckloop jack and hearing aid compatibility let it work with other listening gear. It's a corded phone, so it stays plugged in at one spot in the home.

Quha Zono Mouse Accessories
Est. $150–$400
These are mounting and add-on accessories for the Quha Zono head-controlled mouse. They let you wear the mouse in different ways, such as on a headband, an ear clip, or clipped to your own glasses. The headband holder has a jack for a 3.5mm switch, which can act as the left mouse click, and a magnetic charging dock with USB-C is also offered. This is not a complete solution on its own: you need a Quha Zono mouse to attach it to. Compatibility is split between models. The Zono Mouse X has its own set of mounts, and the older Zono Mouse and Zono Mouse 2 use a different set, so check which model you have before ordering.

Mano 6 Replacement Adaptor
$65.95
This is a factory-made replacement power adaptor made only for the Reinecker Mano 6, a low vision device. If your original adaptor is lost or has stopped working, this one lets you get the Mano 6 running again. It is a replacement part, not a standalone product, so it does nothing without a Mano 6. Because it is the manufacturer's own part, you don't have to guess about fit or compatibility.
