KNFB READER RELEASED!
 
Today K-NFB Reading Technology and Sensotec announced the release of their
image capture and read iPhone app called the KNFB Reader, now available on
Apple's App Store on iTunes. The link to the app is KNFB Reader in the Apple
App Store <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/knfbreader/id849732663> .  
Fast, accurate, and efficient, this app is the latest breakthrough
development in mobile reading technology designed for use with or without
sight.  
Commenting on today's release, Mark Riccobono, president of the National
Federation of the Blind said: "The KNFB Reader represents an historic leap
forward in text recognition and reading technology. Snap a picture and hear
the text instantly read aloud. Although it sounds unbelievable, it's really
that easy. The ability to read print wherever you are, even if you can't see
it, is truly a dream come true thanks to Ray Kurzweil whose groundbreaking
work forty years ago and since has made this day possible."
According to James Gashel, vice president of business development at K-NFB
Reading Technology <http://knfbreader.com/> , the new KNFB Reader app has
been optimized for use on the iPhone 5s but can also be used on the iPhone 5
and 5c as well. The current version of the app is able to recognize and
speak text in English and eleven other languages with many more expected to
be added. "This app has attracted excitement among those who need it
worldwide, promising to be life-changing technology," Gashel said.
