When attached to the parallel port of any Windows PC, the small SounText adapter can read numbers, letters, and text in eight languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, and Dutch. Working in any Windows program, you highlight the desired information and click on the appropriate language icon. A package with English-to-Spanish translation software (other translators are under development), a high-quality external speaker, an internal battery holder, an AC/DC adapter, and a parallel port connector costs $99.
