FingerReader Scans and narrates the text of a MIT project

At a time when communication seems to splash out of smartphone and tablet displays, visually impaired people are probably not particularly favored.
Americans had this concern από το εργαστήριο Fluid Interfaces του Τεχνολογικού Ινστιτούτου της ς και ανέπτυξαν το : one reading system which allows blind people to play the information on… fingers.

The information on ... fingers

Το hi-tech αξεσουάρ φοριέται στον δείκτη του χρήστη και διηγείται με ανδρική φωνή το κείμενο που υποδεικνύει εκείνος κάθε φορά. Για παράδειγμα, όταν εκείνος τοποθετεί το δάχτυλό του επάνω στη σελίδα ενός βιβλίου, στην επιφάνεια μιας ταμπλέτας ή ενός ebook, κινώντας το προς τα δεξιά, το δαχτυλίδι ανάγνωσης σαρώνει το κείμενο, μεταφράζοντας τους χαρακτήρες σε φωνή. Με τη βοήθεια ενός ειδικού the FingerReader tells the story that slowly unfolds in front of the reader. In order for the user to maintain the correct path with his finger, the reading "tool" has vibration so that he can easily understand e.g. that it has moved away from the point of the text.

FingerReader, according to scientists, could in the future replace existing reading systems that target visually impaired people and often offer limited capabilities while presenting inaccuracies when operating.

The handy device is still in development. Researchers argue that there are still some "flaws" that need to be improved, the speed of reading, the fact that it is wired and so on.
