The Intel Reader - Accessories, Anecdotes

The Intel Reader takes pictures of text and read it aloud. It's designed to provide access to printed text for people with dyslexia, low vision or blindness. Intel's Digital Health Group researched and designed the mobile Intel Reader, which is built on the Intel Atom processor and run on the Moblin operating system.

My Dyslexic friend sent me this link. Thank you VERY MUCH for making such an awesome device, it has made him (and me now too) very excited for its potential

Wow, what a neat product!

I've been blind since birth, and would love to have this. So I won't have to ask someone to read printed mail for me.

Can you also scan every day items with this?Such as shampoos or frozen dinners?

Thanks for this demonstration.

How large is the screen? Can it be used with the Eloquence text to speech system or other voice synthesizers?

This device is SURE to be a God-sent for millions. I want one myself.

There are people for whom glasses won't work. Even at the most powerful prescription possible, my vision is still 20/80. If I wasn't fortunate to have them my vision would be around 20/300 or 20/400 (estimated; i.e. legally blind). This means that, while I can see, I still need magnification of most printed material. My ideal font size is 24 to be able to effectively read without any problems or strain to my back (i.e. leaning in or anything). I don't want to develop a hunch back, after all. :)

I've asked three vendors if - in case my legally blind wife is unable to use this (she's anti techie), is it returnable. Not one of the 3 online vendors have even answered.

Hi! I truly admire the creators of this innovative product.

I have a question. My grandfather suffers from macular degeneration, so he needs this device. However, he is Peruvian, so he speaks Spanish. Does this device reads texts in Spanish? And if not, when will Intel be releasing one that does? Thank you in advance for your kind answer
