Dallas, TX - The 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.
An innovative handheld device that snaps a photo and then reads material aloud has been the biggest attraction at the exhibit hall in Dallas' Hilton Anatole Hotel. The federation teamed up with inventor Ray Kurzweil to create the device, which is being unveiled for the first time.
