KNFB Reader Classic

The Kurzweil–National Federation of the Blind Reader

Technology that scans and reads printed material to the blind is nothing new, but this personal reader is the first truly handheld device to do the job. Combining a state-of-the-art digital camera with a powerful personal data assistant housed in a custom designed, attractive case, the Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader puts the best available character recognition software together with text-to-speech conversion technology, all in the palm of your hand. 

Hold the Reader’s camera over print—a restaurant menu, directions, or a memo from your boss—and snap a picture. In seconds you can hear the contents of the printed document in clear synthetic speech. Capture, read, and discard pages; store them for later reading; or transfer files to a computer or Braille-aware PDA. The Reader even has a headphone jack so you won’t disturb your neighbors.

The Reader’s convenient size, simple design, and powerful technology deliver unprecedented access to printed matter.
