Mr. Stokes: Telesensory, which was founded in 1970, is the number one provider in the world for reading devices for the visually impaired. We have shipped more than 150,000 units during our 30 plus years in business. In fact, Telesensory ships more units every year than any other company and that's the way we intend to keep it. Some of our founding engineers are still shareholders of the company. We're the only company whose Board has representatives from both Canon and Xerox, which are also major shareholders in the company. I am presently the Chairman, CEO and President.
TWST: Could you tell us about some of the most important products
that you develop?
Mr. Stokes: Probably the greatest one, which is known throughout
the world, is the Aladdin. The Aladdin line consists of seven
closed circuit television systems, each with different features.
CCTVs, or video magnifiers, are made up of a television camera
that focuses on the object a person wishes to read. Then the
image is digitally captured, manipulated, magnified and displayed
in various colors and magnification settings. The Aladdin
products allow people with macular degeneration and other low
vision conditions to be able to read letters from their loved
ones, see photographs of their grandchildren, write checks and
really maintain their privacy. The Aladdin is by far the largest
selling low vision product in the world.
