[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] knfb reader app?

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

It can read books, although each page would have to be photographed.  I think there is a batch mode.  There is no demo version.

It can read packages, although their design, use of graphics, etc., may make it problematic.  Rounded things, like cans and bottles can be a problem too.  I suspect most people use it for mail, short documents, things they find in their hotel room when they travel, etc.  Some people have had some success with computer screens, signs, etc., but your mileage may vary greatly.

				Thank you. 
Can it read books or is it more meant for packages like "cook this package of chicken nugets for x amout of time and y temperature"? 
Caan you try it out before buying?

It uses the iPhone and its camera to scan and read printed material out loud. It is normally $99 but if you buy it before july 10 it is $74.95.

Hi folks. 

I accidentally blew away David Andrews' note on the reduced price for the KNFB reader. Can somebody get me smart, what does this app do and how much is it now? How long will the sale last?
