Versatile

CoaSt Duo works with the tablet or computer system you already have (PC, Mac and iPad). You don’t have to charge CoaSt Duo and it is very small and light. You don’t need a separate distance magnifier; CoaSt Duo gives you close view, self-view AND an amazing distance view.

Optional Scan and Read

You can use CoaSt Duo with the full Readit software (purchased separately) to add OCR/Scan & Read. Scan documents on your desk or at a distance and have them read back to you, aloud.

Level the playing field, plus some

CoaSt Duo doesn’t just help a low vision person see at a distance as well as a person with 20:20 sight; it helps low vision people see BETTER! With the 10x optical zoom, you can magnify text at a distance that is completely unreadable by people with perfect vision.

Need an affordable and powerful way to view and magnify the whiteboard?

There is no need to use the money or desk space for more screens and devices; just plug CoaSt Duo into your iPad, PC or Mac and use the included software to magnify at a distance on the screens you already have.

Discretion is key

Tired of being forced to sit, front and center? Weary of heavy, big devices that make you stand out? CoaSt Duo is tiny and discreet but can extend to great heights to see at a distance overhead of other students. And the included Readit Lite software has an innovative de-skew feature that can flatten the view from an angle. Magnify and read with CoaSt Duo discreetly – from anywhere in the classroom – like you were sitting in the center of the front row.

Software included

The Readit Lite software is included with CoaSt Duo. Readit Lite includes options for zoom in/out, contrast colors, deskew and numerous other useful reading features. And Readit Lite works on PC, Mac and iPad.

Multiple setup options

CoaSt Duo sits on a tripod with an arm that permits the camera to extend up to greater heights. Just pop out the legs, plug in the single cable to a USB-C connection on your device and start reading. You can also use the included table clamp or stand for greater stability and a higher viewing position. Everything fits in the included compact protective carry case.

Doesn’t drain your battery

CoaSt Duo sends video and gets power, all from a single USB-C connection. You never have to worry about charging a battery on the camera. And CoaSt Duo only draws 1 watt of power from your iPad or laptop, so you don’t drain your device battery quickly. Work all day with no charging, with CoaSt Duo.

Digital Panning

There is no need to move the camera head constantly in order to read with CoaSt Duo. Just point it and press the buttons to zoom to the area of interest. Then, you can zoom in digitally and move around on screen with mouse, touch screen or arrow keys; makes reading significantly faster and more comfortable.

Transportable

The lightest optical zoom camera available weighing just 350g/.77lbs (including integrated USB-C cable). CoaSt Duo folds up and packs quickly into the include protective carry case. In less than a minute, you can be on your way, with a compact case that fits nicely in your backpack.
