''A portable scanning device that reads text to visually impaired people will go on sale in the UK next month.
Called the K-NFB, it is the latest product to be developed by American inventor Raymond Kurzweil.
Until now, scanning and text-to-speech output meant having to take the printed material to the hardware.
The K-NFB, which combines a PDA and a digital camera, means that people will be able to read menus, train timetables and product labels in shops.''

the device is around 2600£.
