[vendtalk] KNFB Reader App and Be My Eyes App

Wed Jan 28 22:33:38 UTC 2015

KNFB Reader App
Just a heads up, I just saw on another group e-mail that the KNFB Reader App is now $49.99, it was originally $99.00.  I verified it, I don't know how long it will be this low so if you are interested now may be the time.  This is an iPhone app.

The KNFB Reader App is an App that you can use to take a picture of a document and it will read the document to you.  I know many people using it and they really like it.

Be My Eyes iPhone App
I also wanted to share this today, I am putting it in my weekly Office Update and thought it would be great to help spread the word... It is a free app for now, I hear it's funded through September.  I don't know who owns or created this app, but it sounds like it could be very useful.  It would be great if blind users gave it a shot in support of the effort.  I loaded the app today, it has over 8000 blind users, over 99,000 volunteers, and has assisted in over 21,000 requests so far.  Pretty cool.

Blind Users access app and get linked to sighted volunteer who can assist in reading labels, expiration dates on food, alerting to surroundings, all kinds of stuff that in any given moment you just need that quick identification of something.

Load the App in the Apple App Store (search Be My Eyes to find it), I did, it’s free for now.  I hope it is successful.

Thank you, 
Kathy Ungaro
