Electro-Optical Systems share the same basic components, but executions can vary widely. Examples include desktop, portable, transportable, handheld, and wearable video magnification systems, sometimes called CCTVs.
A unique entry in the transportable category of electronic video magnifiers is the Lime Lighter from Dancing Dots. Specially designed for accessing sheet music, this is a foot-pedal controlled music notation magnifier with OCR for scanning scores in. The unit comes as a 23-inch or 17.3-inch touch screen tablet or pc running on A.C power with software installed and can be mounted on a stand. Contrast can be customized and notes color coded. Direct music markup and composition features are also included. Prices vary according to version specifications but are around $3,000.
No more relying on towering stacks of blown-up music glued to cardboard and positioned precariously atop bulky, wide music stands. The Lime Lighter offers new freedom and capability previously unavailable to music lovers among the visually impaired community. No longer limited to learning by ear, with this system, musicians can read and write sheet notation with greater ease than ever. Unlike enlarged paper music, the device provides its own lighting, so the user is not dependent on the quality of the performance environment.
