“Intel Corporation announced UK availability of the Intel® Reader, a mobile handheld device designed to increase independence for people who have trouble reading standard print. In the UK, there are an estimated six million people with dyslexia or other specific learning difficulties and two million people with visual impairments such as partial sightedness or blindness, for whom reading printed words is difficult or impossible.
The Intel Reader, which is about the size of a paperback book, converts printed text into digital text, and then reads it aloud to the user. Its unique design combines a high-resolution camera with the power of an Intel® Atomâ„¢ processor, allowing users to point, shoot and listen to printed text. The Intel Reader will be available in the UK through select retailers, including Amazon.co.uk, HumanWare and Inclusive Technology.”
