Reading ‘to go’ for blind people
June 22, 2006 | Source: BBC News
The K-NFB, the latest product to be developed by inventor Ray Kurzweil, is a portable scanning device that reads text to visually impaired people.
It will help with ad-hoc reading of documents such as bills and receipts, instructions on food packaging or medication or emergency evacuation notices in hotels.
Ray Kurzweil is also inventor of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind and other landmark inventions.
