The Ruby 10 with Speech is a portable 10-inch touchscreen video magnifier with three dedicated cameras, full-page OCR, and text-to-speech. It is designed for people with low vision who need a large-screen portable device that can also read documents aloud — at home, at work, or on the go.
Who is the Ruby 10 best suited for?
People with low vision who need a large portable screen
Anyone who wants printed documents read aloud
People with macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy
Students, retirees, and professionals who read fine print daily
Users who need distance viewing for signs, menus, and walls
People wanting desktop capability in a portable form

Three dedicated cameras — one for every task
Unlike single-camera magnifiers, the Ruby 10 has three separate cameras optimised for different tasks, so you never compromise on image quality.
Camera 1
Reading & close view
Magnifies letters, books, medicine labels, bills, and fine print from 2x up to 24x.
Camera 2
Distance viewing
Views objects at a short distance — signs, menus, prices, and boards on a wall.
Camera 3
Full-page OCR
The swing-out arm enables full-page scanning. Press a button and the device reads the page aloud.

- Reading letters, bills, prescriptions, and forms
- Reading books, newspapers, and magazines

Unique, Patent-Pending Viewing Modes
The Ruby 10 introduces viewing modes not found on standard magnifiers. Each mode is designed to assist a specific visual challenge and improve comfort during extended use.
ColourSight+™
Colour blindness enhancement
Shifts specific colours in real-time to assist colour differentiation for protanopia (red), deuteranopia (green), and tritanopia (blue) colour blindness.
GlareGuard™
Glare and light sensitivity
Reduces the wavelengths of light associated with pain from light sensitivity, while maintaining luminance and contrast. Recommended for macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
EdgeScribe™
Edge and object enhancement
Improves object recognition by defining edges against the background. Includes edge-only mode and smoothing to reduce visual noise in high-contrast views.
Aptiview™
Dynamic contrast
Dynamically adjusts contrast across different parts of the image, improving viewing in more lighting conditions than standard contrast modes allow.

Unique, Patent Pending Viewing Modes:
- ColourSight+™ colour blindness enhancements which shift specific colours to assist colour differentiation in real-time. These filters are intended to improve contrast for protanopia (colour blindness to red), deuteranopia (colour blindness to green), and tritanopia (colour blindness to blue).
- GlareGuard™ attempts to maximise comfort during long-term use by minimising pain from light sensitivity. This feature reduces the wavelengths of light associated with such pain. It is designed to achieve comfort while maintaining luminance and contrast levels acceptable to the user. Although we believe every eye condition can benefit from this feature, it is highly recommended for macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
- EdgeScribe™ edge enhancement modes attempt to improve object recognition by removing visual clutter.
- Edge enhancement makes the edges of objects in an image stand out against the background.
- Edge-only mode removes colours, only showing the lines and edges of objects in view.
- Edge smoothing reduces visual noise in high-contrast modes.
- Aptiview™ algorithm dynamically adjusts the contrast in different parts of the image, which could improve the viewing experience in more lighting conditions than previously possible.
