Award-Winning Text Recognition App that Gives the Blind Access to Print Now
Available on Android
We are happy to announce the release of the new KNFB Reader app for Android.
The KNFB Reader converts printed text into high quality speech to provide
accurate, fast, and efficient access to both single and multiple page
documents with the tap of a button.  First released for iOS in 2014, the app
is now available for purchase in the Google Play app store.  It offers a
"try before you buy" option of 25 scans free of charge.  Additionally, to
celebrate the Android release, the KNFB Reader app will be available for a
very limited time on both iOS and Android platforms for $74.99, a savings of
25% off the regular price.  
Why this app?  The 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 and labels, and 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 .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.

the iTunes app store http://tinyurl.com/KNFBReaderiOS. The reduced price of
$74.99, which is 25% off the regular price, is available ONLY from October
30, 2015 to November 1, 2015.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
