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

Tue Dec 22 03:32:20 UTC 2015

Hi Aleeha,
I can say first hand that KNFB reader has made my life easier as a student.
When the Office of Disability Services did not have my textbooks ready 
in time (and I was left without books for literally five weeks) I was 
able to do my required reading with the KNFB reader. And I was surprised 
at how accurate it was! It definitely beat trying to find people, and 
find money to pay those people to read to me!
Just another example of where the KNFB reader was literally a life-saver!
