Blind people say the KNFB
Reader app will enable a new level
of engagement in everyday life, from
reading menus in restaurants to
browsing handouts in the classroom.
According to its website, K-NFB
Reading Technology Inc and Sensotec
NV, a Belgium-based company, led the
technical development of the app. Taking
advantage of new pattern recognition
and image- processing technology as
well as new smartphone hardware, the
app allows users to adjust or tilt the
camera, and reads printed materials out
loud. People with Braille displays can
now snap pictures of print documents
and display them. – in.reuters.com
