Detailed Description

knfb Reading Technology, Inc. is pleased to announce the latest breakthrough in print accessibility. We have developed software which places the functionality of a reading machine into a multifunction cell phone. The Mobile Reader products can be activated and ready to use with the touch of a single button on the phone. The user takes a photo of the print to be read and the character recognition software in conjunction with high quality text-to-speech will read the contents of the document aloud. At the same time, it can display the print on the phone’s built-in screen and highlight each word as it is spoken.

The Mobile Reader Product Line:

* Reads most printed documents, from letters and memos to pages in a book

* Easily recognizes U.S. currency
* Displays each sentence visually and highlights each word as it is read
* Stores thousands of pages using easily obtainable flash memory
* Transfers text files to and from computers or Braille note takers
* Adjusts reading speed to suit user’s preference.

The bundle price listed includes dealer installation of software.

In addition, with the use of a screen reader, the user can access the other functions of the phone device including making and receiving phone calls, personal information management such as contacts, calendar, etc. Also contains ability to run accessible GPS programs, access to Adobe PDF files, voice recorder, music player and much more.
