KNFB-Reader is another way to give the gift of print. KNFB Reader is a
mobile app that reads print aloud. It's easy to use. Take a photo and the
app reads the text aloud in clear synthetic speech. And it's fast-the print
will be yours almost instantaneously. KNFB Reader will be on sale for $74.99
from December 21st through January 4th. This sale price of 25% off makes it
the perfect gift for a friend or family member.

Giving KNFB Reader as a gift is easy! You can obtain iTunes or Google Play
gift cards at many local retailers such as Target or Walmart, or online at
Amazon.com. To learn more about giving KNFB Reader as a gift this holiday
season, visit www.nfb.org/knfbreader.

Why use this app? The KNFB Reader is an easy, fast, accurate, and efficient
text recognition mobile app that delivers near instantaneous results. Tired
of being unsure what's been charged to your credit card? Want to know who
sent you that package? Need nutritional information from a food label? Find
a book that's not available in audio format? Buy a new appliance and want to
access the user's manual? KNFB Reader is your go-to: it has reading modes
for books, articles, labels, bills, and memos. Worried about getting a good
photo of your text as a blind person? KNFB Reader provides a field of view
report and tilt guidance for more accurate capturing of print in the
photograph, as well as automatic text detection. You'll get the right photo;
KNFB Reader will help you. The app allows for high quality digital output to
speech or connected Braille displays. The scanned material can be imported
as a .jpg or .pdf, or exported in .txt and .html formats. Not much space on
your phone? No problem. Use cloud storage for your files via Dropbox or
Google Drive! The app also has a batch scan mode to process and read
multiple-page documents such as manuals or books. Don't let print be out of
your reach ever again.

Make the print yours, live the life you want, and have a wonderful holiday
season and a happy new year from your friends at NFB-NEWSLINE.

The KNFB Reader is developed by the National Federation of the Blind and
Sensotec NV.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
