Multinational chip manufacturing company Intel has come to the rescue of the visual challenged people with its portable handheld device called Intel Reader. It can convert text to speech within minutes.
The Intel Reader looks like a paperback book meant for reading any text aloud. The Reader sports with a 4.3-inch display and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus range of up to 1 meter. It runs with an Intel Atom processor and has 4GB Solid State Drive associated with it.
The portable product can carry 600 processed pages including texts and images. If only text pages are fed, then it can carry a total of 500,000 text pages at a time. The 3300 mAh lithium-Ion battery can provide enough power for speech or audio hearing to the user.
Intel Reader is provided with tangible buttons and voice operated menus to use it comfortably. There are also options to zoom in the screen and font size of the text to present a clear view for the people who have low vision.
Man's brain power to develop such a gadget is truly amazing!!
