FingerReader Reads the Text for You

FingerReader Reads the Text for You
Feb-20-14
Designed with the visually impaired in mind, the FingerReader will ‘read’ the words of a printed text aloud while also ensuring the user is following the lines of the text correctly.

Developed by a team at the MIT Media Lab, the FingerReader scans the text as the user moves their finger across the line and delivers audio feedback of the words. The device will also alert the user to the start and end of the line with haptic feedback and other cues, and its FingerReader algorithm will detect when the user has veered off the line of text and give cues to help maintain a straight scanning motion.

This would be a great tool for those who has a learning disability with reading. It would take away concentrating on the words a more comprehending what is being read.
