K-NFB Mobile Reader Audio Testimonial

"Wow, wow, wow, and wow. All I can say is the K-NFB Reader is a fantastic little piece of handheld miracle. With just a bit of training I was off and running using the Reader for everything I could get my hands on. I have taken pictures of things the Reader is not really recommended for, and I have yet to run into anything that I can't read that a sighted person can, and sometimes better than they can.

"I am amazed at the sizes, and amount of different fonts that the Reader can handle with almost 100-percent complete perfection. I can now go to my local news stand and purchase any magazine that I want, and be able to read it anywhere that I want." - Janice Creighton

"The playing field has been equalized with the assistance of the K-NFB Reader. I feel that the scanner will make me more employable, besides assisting me to do my work independently." - Hope Hein

"I just finished sorting today's mail. What a great feeling I have to be able to accomplish this seemingly trivial task. I didn't have to interrupt my son or daughter, I didn't have to wait for a pair of eyes, and my wife does not have to spend time sorting. [...] As my students would say, 'The K-NFB Reader rocks!'" - Mark Feliz

"I find that just doing small things without sighted help gives me a feeling of independence. The potential is just fantastic for this technical camera that talks." - David and Lori Stayer

"I was planning to have someone read me the serial number from the battery in my laptop; however, the person could not seem to read the number the same way twice. It wasn't easy - tiny little print on the end of a long skinny box, but I got it with the K-NFB Reader.
