K-NFB Reader

The K-NFB Reader (an acronym for Kurzweil — National Federation of the Blind Reader) is a handheld electronic reading device for the blind. It was developed in a partnership between Ray Kurzweil and National Federation of the Blind.

The original version of the reader was composed of a digital camera and a PDA, which contained specialised OCR software and speech synthesizers to read the scanned material aloud.

The software was later ported to the Symbian operating system, to be used on Nokia N82 camera phones. It was ported to iOS in 2014.
