A new portable device called The Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader helps the blind "read" printed documents. It takes a digital picture of a page of text and then reads it aloud to the blind person either through speaker or earphone in just 30 seconds.

The device, which is the closest a blind person can get to reading without Braille, costs $3,500. The reader works with dark text, not handwriting or overly graphical fonts.
