Intel has released a great new assistive technology product for people who can’t access print – blind, low vision, and learning disabled. The Intel Reader is a handheld device which allows you to capture an image of a page of text and then have the text read to you. It can also mount in a portable capture stand to make it easier to capture a lot of content. It is great to see a company like Intel developing high quality assistive technology products to serve people with disabilities. Here’s the product brochure and a video of Intel’s Director of Access Technology Ben Foss showing how it works.
