How SuperNova Helps

Access Emails, Documents and Apps
Use SuperNova magnification, speech and braille features to access all of your favourite Windows applications.
SuperNova gives reliable access to Office 365, so you can read and type documents, spreadsheets and emails with magnification, speech or braille.
Browse the internet at home with accessibility features including magnification and screen reading. SuperNova improves the accessibility of Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers.
Scan & Read
Independence and privacy is maintained for people who are visually impaired, with the Scan & Read function in SuperNova.
As the name suggests, with SuperNova you can simply scan any printed information such as letters, magazine articles or appointment cards. SuperNova turns the printed words into speech, which it will then read aloud, so you can listen to the words printed.


An Affordable Video Magnifier
Increase your independence and retain your privacy at home with the Connect & View feature in SuperNova. It means you won't need others to read out private information, such as personal letters or prescriptions.
Connect a document camera or CCTV (not included) and use the Connect & View function in SuperNova to view a magnified version on screen. You can magnify things such as craft work, greeting cards, handwritten notes, magazines, food packaging, medicine labels and photos.
Simply place the article under your camera to view it on screen with your preferred magnification and colour settings. You can also snap a picture to save or send to others via email.
Dolphin Large Print Keyboard
Improve your accuracy and confidence when typing, with the Dolphin large print keyboard. Its high-contrast, large print keys are designed specifically for use by people with low vision, so that the letters and numbers are easy to recognise.
If your sight fluctuates throughout the day, you can quickly adjust the magnification level or speech settings using special Dolphin buttons on the keyboard. These buttons provide shortcuts to magnification or speech, to help you work comfortably at your computer.
Other quick-button controls help make SuperNova faster to use. You can bring up the control panel, split the screen and access help pages.
