We have one more gadget to add to today’s choices, one from Intel that focuses on people with dyslexia, low-vision or blindness or other disabilities.  imageIt reads out lout, connects to your PC does MP3, and more.  Of course it is fully integrated with a USB slot and integrates with your computer to transfer files, etc. 

What is interesting about this model though is the ability to take pictures.  Watch the video about half way through to see how this is done with large newspapers, etc. on a volume basis.   You could almost instantly scan a newspaper into the device and have it read back to you.

What would this do for electronic medical records?  That is an interesting question and with the abilities in the unit here, I’m sure it will somehow work it’s way into the arena.  Take a picture of your paper records and have it read back to you maybe?  Have the unit read back your PHR, maybe?

So many choices today and so many devices!  By the time we read about one, there’s a new item out the following day, or maybe I should say an hour instead of a day! 

Intel’s health group is getting in on the eReader game. While the Kindle, Nook and others try to replicate a natural book reading experience, the Intel Reader is built specifically for people that have trouble reading print, including those with dyslexia, low-vision or blindness.

The Intel Reader ca take pictures of text and read it aloud.
