[nabs-l] KNFB Reader: Make the Print Yours this Holiday Season for$74.99!

[Sami Osborne]

Michael,

Thank you so much for sharing that information with us! I've been 
waiting to purchase that app since forever! I've been asking my 
parents and uncle for it as a Christmas gift,
so hopefully I will receive it this time around.  It's really 
nice to know that you can purchase it for 25 off starting Monday! 
That way, if one of my family members hasn't already got it for 
me, then they won't have to spend all the money.  I'm really 
looking forward to getting it, because, as you so accurately 
state, we can "let the print become ours," which of course is 
really cool! We can now have a easy, convenient way of reading 
print materials without the need of waiting for assistance from a 
sighted person.  As we all like to say, "It doesn't matter how we 
do it.  However we do it, we'll always get it done! If one way 
doesn't work, find an alternative."

Thanks again Michael for sharing this information, and happy 
holidays everyone.

Sami

Giving KNFB Reader as a gift is easy! You can obtain iTunes or

Walmart, or online at Amazon.com.  To redeem iTunes gift cards, 
open the App Store, scroll down to the bottom of the page under 
”Featured,” and choose “Redeem.” You will need to sign in using 
your Apple ID, and then you will be prompted to use your phone’s 
camera to photograph the bar code on the gift card, or enter the

then scroll down and choose ”Redeem,” and enter the redemption 
code located on the Google Play gift card.
You can gift KNFB Reader iOS directly to someone by opening the 
App Store, and searching for KNFB Reader.  Once you find the app, 
select the “Share” button at the top of the screen near the 
“Back” button, then choose that and then choose “Gift” This will 
bring up a screen for you to enter the recipient’s email address 
(you will need to use the email address they have linked to their 
Apple ID).  Then you may choose to add a message and set the date 
to send your gift.
Why use this app? KNFB Reader is an easy, fast, accurate, and 
efficient text recognition mobile app that delivers near 
instantaneous results.  Tired of being unsure what’s been charged 
to your credit card? Want to know who sent you that package? Need 
nutritional information from a food label? Find a book that’s not 
available on NLS?  Buy a new appliance and want to access the 
user’s manual? KNFB Reader is your go-to:  it has reading modes 
for books, articles, labels, bills, and memos.  Worried about 
getting a good photo of your text as a blind person? KNFB Reader 
provides a field of view report and tilt guidance for more 
accurate capturing of print in the photograph, as well as 
automatic text detection.  You’ll get the right photo; KNFB 
Reader will help you.  The app allows for high quality digital 
output to speech or connected Braille displays.  The scanned 
material can be imported as a .jpg or .pdf, or exported in .txt 
and .html formats.  Not much space on your phone? No problem.  
Use cloud storage for your files via Dropbox or Google Drive! The 
app also has a batch scan mode to process and read multiple-page 
documents such as manuals or books.  Don’t let print be out of 
your reach ever again.

print yours and live the life you want!
Happy Holidays from your KNFB Reader Team.
