KNFB Reader Mobile to be demonstrated this coming Tuesday, May 26, 2009


This coming Tuesday Michael Hingson, Director of National KnfbReader Mobile Sales for the National Federation of the Blind, and the NFB sales team  will demonstrate the exciting KnfbReader Mobile Reader - featuring the first cell phone that reads and translates print into voice.

The knfb Reader Mobile is a major advancement in print access for the
  Blind.  The software, delivered on a multifunction cell phone, allows the user
  To snap pictures of any printed material and have it read aloud immediately.
  The first of its kind, the pocket-sized device allows individuals to
  Have print analyzed and read aloud in real time and in real life situations.

  The latest version is now able to read in a variety of languages
  Including French, German, Dutch, Belgian Dutch, Italian, and Castilian.
  Additionally, the software is able to translate between languages, displaying and reading aloud in English translated text.

The reader also can read U.S. Currency on demand.

Michael Hingson says, "The KnfbReader Mobile is the only truly portable reading system available to blind and other print handicapped individuals which will read almost any printed information aloud."  "This on-line demonstration will give people a close-up look at the Reader.  We will be taking questions after the actual demonstration."

The demonstration will include a discussion of the product cost and availability.  The NFB Reader Sales team will also be introduced.  "There has never been a better time to consider owning one of these wonderful devices", Hingson states.
