Intel Reader
Two videos of an incredible new text-to-speech device from Intel Health, the Intel Reader. A portable Text-to-Speech processor, it will take a photo of any text, OCR it, and then read it to you. It also saves each piece of this process, the photo, the text file, and the audio, and gives you access to it on your computer. I can see libraries of all types using these both internally for quick digitization, and for possible patron checkout.
