Here's technology put to good use. With several text to speech applications out in the market, none really maximize the potential using a special imaging device that connects to a PDA.Combining a state-of-the-art digital camera with a powerful personal data assistant, the "camera that talks" puts the best available character recognition software together with text-to-speech conversion technology–all in a single, handheld device. The Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader has the ability to dramatically enhance the lives of millions of people who have difficulty seeing or reading print by providing access like never before. Users need only hold the Reader over print-a restaurant menu, an airline ticket, a business card, a school assignment, an office memo-and in seconds they hear the contents of the printed document played back in clear synthetic speech.

The device should cost $3,600.00. Expensive, yes, but it is a price that is willing to be paid to be able to "see" again.
