Handheld Device Reads Printed Words to the Blind
geekotourist writes "3,000 people in Dallas this week for the National Federation of the Blind convention are getting a demonstration of what life is like when you can read printed menus, mail, business cards and memos," reports the Dallas Morning News. The NFB spent two million dollars developing the $3,495 Kurzweil-National Federation of
the Blind Reader, which weighs 15 ounces and combines text-to-speech with sophisticated OCR. The device 'gives the user an initial "situation report," describing what it can see. The user then makes a decision about whether to take a picture. After a few seconds to process the image, the contents of the document are read aloud.' Beta testers describe the joys of reading receipts, CDs, food labels, bulletin boards, conference printouts, or of simply reading books with privacy, without another person's help."

More than that, why not 5 million so the fucktarded blind will either have to let their family take care of them, or let natural selection take its fucking course.
Then one day, the blind fucktarded walked into a manhole and died before he could fuck anything other than his god damned hand. Now the blind fucktard is out of the genepool with no fucktarded children for the rest of us to take care of.
GO AHEAD, FUCKING FLAME AWAY
