TorahView System

The Torah View System, sponsored by the Hillman family, is an alternative to the CCTV for Torah learning.  A CCTV is a device that magnifies text onto a large screen to render it legible for low vision individuals.  While magnification is very helpful for reading books, it does not work well for seforim with accompanying commentaries.
After receiving numerous requests from low vision students, CSB created a seforim library paired with a highly-configurable viewing software. They system presets seforim in a magnified format and has dozens of simple to use navigation tools including voice recognition.  It is used effectively by clients of all ages including the elderly, with minimum training.  The advantage of the Torah View system is that all texts are contained in the software which allows for unparalleled configurability and navigation
The system is constantly adjusted to accommodate its client’s needs and presently has dozens of configuration settings which can be contoured for a particulate client’s needs. It thus allows for:

  • Text to be presented in any size
  • Maximum number of words per page
  • Rashi text view in standard Hebrew script
  • Hi-contrast color scheme
  • Division of pesukim
