Abstract
The Automatic Page Turner turns the pages of bound books, magazines, or three-ring bound class notes in either forward or reverse mode. This electromechanical system enables a person, who can only communicate to the outside world via a wheelchair mounted head switch, to read any material without assistance. A microcontroller system is operated either by hand switches mounted on the device or by remote computer connection
