When installed on a mobile phone or tablet device, CapturaTalk allowed the user to take a picture of a text heavy image to have it converted to speech and read aloud.
[1] The Mobispeech software was primarily designed to aid people who either required literacy support[2] for disabilities such as dyslexia[3] or for students learning English.
Apart from capturing pictures containing text that a user required converted to speech, CapturaTalk also incorporated the Oxford English Dictionary and was able to read out documents, text messages, contacts, internet pages, PDF files and e-mails received or opened on the phone or tablet.
CapturaTalk version 3 was released in March 2010, following its preview at the BETT show in January 2010.
While CapturaTalk for Windows has since been halted, an Android version was released in January 2012[8]
