Testimonials
| "In July 2020 Pacific Vision Supplies provided me with a keyboard that had large black lettering on yellow keys. As I have macular degeneration the new keyboard was a god-send" - John Stella, Returning to study was a daunting prospect, I wasn't sure what I would need equipment wise to help with my studies. The staff at Pacific Vision have been so helpful and listened to what my concerns were before recommending any equipment. I recently purchased Magic software, a Ruby HD7 inch and a Magic keyboard. This new equipment has changed my life, not only am I finding it much much easier to type up my essays and read notes and books, the Ruby helps me read menus and food packages as well as recently being able to play a board game with a little friend of mine, he is 3 and so can't read the cards and without the Ruby nor could I. With the Ruby we were able to play our game and then read his books. The magic software is easy to use, the only fault I've found is that it doesn't magically write my papers for me. The staff at Pacific Vision are very patient and helpful I would suggest anyone who is looking for help with this type of equipment to give them a call. Mandy, "Through low vision, I had put a lot of my Art aside, choosing easier subjects to be able to continue with my passion. "Don't give up on what you love." Adapt and change ways to continue as I have done with the help of the TOPAZ XL HD which has given me the opportunity, confidence, and determination to continue my lifetime of Art." |
