Who is the Helix HD for?

If you're struggling to read text & need something more powerful than an optical magnifier, the Helix HD could be the ideal solution for you!

With magnification of up to 150x, enhanced reading colours, lines, blinds & unique signature box, everyday tasks that were difficult are now possible again; such as reading books, post, bank statements, cooking instructions & writing letters, cards, crosswords, sudoku etc.

Helix HD is light enough to easily move around the home or office & connects to any television or computer monitor via an HDMI / DVI connection.

With Helix HD's integrated output selector, you can connect your PC, laptop, Mac or set-top box etc. to the same screen as the Helix HD & instantly switch between them using the dedicated button on Helix HD's control pad.

It has a simple tactile control pad which makes it easy to operate.

Helix HD could be the ideal solution if you:

• Are finding it difficult to read even when holding things close to your eyes.
• Are finding it difficult to read with a magnifying glass.
• Would like to be more independent and be able to read your own documents (post, newspapers, bills etc).
• Would like a portable solution that you can use around the house and at work.
• Have dyslexia and find that changing the colours of text make documents easier to read.
