Making reading accessible wherever you are
The kReader Mobile from knfb Reading Technology is
a major advancement in portability and functionality of
print access for struggling readers and those learning
a second language. Developed under the direction of
Assistive Technology pioneer Ray Kurzweil the kReader
Mobile software package runs on a multifunction cell
phone and allows users to snap a picture of virtually
any document, including mail, receipts, handouts,
memos and many other documents. Our proprietary
document analysis technology determines the words
and reads them aloud to the user. Reading in other
languages is available, along with translation between
languages. This is a truly portable solution to reading
on the go, allowing users to read what they want
wherever they happen to be.

knfbReading Technology, Inc., is pleased to
announce the latest breakthrough in print
accessibility. We have developed software which
places the functionality of a reading machine into a
multifunction cell phone. The Mobile Reader products
can be activated and ready to use with the touch of
a single button on the phone. The user takes a photo
of the print to be read and the character recognition
software in conjunction with high quality text-to-speech
will read the contents of the document aloud.
At the same time, it can display the print on the
phone's built-in screen and highlight each word as
it is spoken. Additionally the user can snap pictures
and read in several languages as well as translate
between languages.

- Reads most printed documents, from letters and memos to pages in a book
- Reads address labels and package information and instructions
- Displays each sentence visually and highlights each word as it is read
- Stores thousands of pages using easily obtainable flash memory
- Adjusts reading speed and reading voice to suit user's preference
- Available to snap pictures and read in a number of languages
- Ability to translate between languages,

In addition, the user can access the other functions
of the phone device including making and receiving
phone calls, personal information management
such as contacts, calendar, etc. Also contains ability
to run GPS programs, access to Adobe® PDF files,
