KNFB Reader is a mobile app that reads print aloud.  Designed specifically for users who are visually impaired or blind, KNFB Reader is accessible and easy to use.  KNFB Reader enables visually impaired users to read a restaurant menu, access mail privately, read school assignments and so much more.  Capture long documents (such as books) using the batch mode which enables KNFB Reader to scan multiple pages at a time. 

Teacher Hint:  College students and professionals need to be able independently access print materials on-the-fly.  Introduce your high school student to OCR resources such as the KNFB Reader app as part of your high school student’s transition plan.
