Intel has introduced Reader, a nifty gadget for people affected with reading disabilities, dyslexia or partial blindness. The rugged Intel Reader consists of a camera, OCR engine and a screen that takes pictures of the printed text, converts and displays/reads aloud the scanned text. It also plays MP3s and converts the scanned docs into an MP3 audiobook.
As far as technical features are concerned, the Intel Reader is powered by an Atom CPU, runs Moblin OS and features a 4.3-inch LCD screen, 5MP camera, 4GB storage and 4 hours of battery life. It will retail for US$1,499.
