[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: KNFB Reader App

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 I did see the demo.  They did not say if it would work on all models of eye phones.  They did not say what would happen to those who already had the reader, if they chose to go with the eye phone apt.
These were my big questions.

Hi,

Did anyone get a chance to see a demo of this app at convention?  Sounds very cool.
