K-NFB Reader

The K-NFB Reader (an acronym for Kurzweil — National Federation of the Blind Reader) is a handheld electronic reading device for the blind. It was developed in a partnership between Ray Kurzweil and National Federation of the Blind.

The reader, composed of a digital camera and a PDA with specialised OCR software, is designed to capture printed material and read the contents aloud in a synthesized voice.
