ABSTRACT:
A computer device for assisting a user to type from printed matter, which includes a crossbar provided with mounting posts that allow it to be positioned on a laptop screen. The present invention further includes a document grasping mechanism with clips secured to the crossbar. The power mechanism for automatically repositioning the printed matter along the width of the laptop screen includes an electric motor, an output shaft, and pulleys. A belt is caused to move in a direction corresponding to the shaft rotation and is powered by the motor. The power mechanism also includes a USB cable connected to the electric motor and a laptop USB port respectively. When a user types, the laptop communicates with the electric motor via the USB cable for causing the motor to rotate selectively position the document along the laptop screen so that a user can maintain a line of sight with the screen during operating conditions.
