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.

Hi all,
Recently Brian schull posted that there was a convention room had come unexpectedly available. I deleted the e-mail as I did not need the info. So, I don't even remember which list it was on. However, I've since been approached by two folks who want a room. So, if that room is, by a miracle, still available or, if anyone knows who is looking to share a room, please contact me off list at:
Missheather at comcast.net
I'd very much like to help them get to convention.
Best regards,
Heather Field
