The Intel Reader

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.

Hi, I am a nursing student with dyslexia. Does this device read out medical words found in nursing and medical books?

[DarksideShuffle]

that magnesium might make it durably, but u light that bitch on fire it aint goin out any time soon...

It's just waste of money. It's to large. In a couple of years it will be forgotten.

@Bonfire110: the companion product is called the "Portable Capture Station". Google It.

@BonFire110: I think there is a add-on picture-taking stand like an overhead slide presenter. Place printed page by using tactile markers.

Unfortunately it currently costs £999 in the UK. It looks a little bulky and Fisher Price-esq to have the ‘street cred’ for a younger user. I like idea of the ‘Portable Capture Station’, which isn’t featured on this video. Perhaps OCR with text-to-speech will become standard on smartphones in years to come, as there’s already knfbReader Mobile and CapturaTalk?

great now i don't have to read my school books. Just imagine the time i can save.

I have tried the device and the earphones do help a great deal! It can also read labels at the store!... including wine bottles! Regarding the voice, at first it may be annoying, however, as with any technical devises that are used to assist human interaction, the more you use it, the more of an extension of self it becomes. The power of reading and the independence it spawns far outweighs the mere weeks it may take to forgive the artificial voice for not perfecting human speech. Awesome.

It's very good. But how will a blind person take a shoot if he can't see anything? How should he know where is the text that he want to shoot? :)
