  • OSX's Alex sounds so much better than this...

  • @abyssoflight True But the lighting was messing with it, and i bet with out that disco lighting it would perform quite well.

  • as soon as he said the atom processor there was surprise that it was going to take forever to load. He then switched to one they did earlier! They try their best to make these gizmos affordable! Its way to bulky and slow,they could imrpove this, or stick this on a mobile phone!

  • how would blind people know where to take pictures

  • dang, u didnt need to zoom in

  • It's potential is NOT in reading books particularly. The potential is being able to independently read menus, product labels, instructions, etc. As for reading books - it would not be as time consuming as using OCR software with a flat bed scanner to scan one page at a time, re-positioning the book, scanning another page, etc - then processing it through TTS software to read it. I AM visually impaired, and this is exciting technology.

  • its a cool device, but i dont think anyone would want to read a book like this

    its gonna take you ages

  • nice

  • @pcgamingman Umm yes actually they can. They already have devices like this that blind people use.

    Believe it or not just because your blind doesn't mean you can't do something as simple as put a book down and then feel a button that would likely have Braille. It just takes training like eveything else they have to learn.

  • umm in the desc it says an i7 processor but the intel guy said an Atom processor lol the desc is wrong
