This is Roo with his great aunt and uncle, Bonnie and Bob. Bonnie, my aunt, lost her eyesight in her 20’s. She does amazingly well and exemplifies the meaning of the words
positive outlook and
glass half full. As a sighted person, she enjoyed reading. Technology has progressed such that now she’s learning to use a souped up cell phone to scan and listen to what she wants, when she wants. This tool offers easy access to everyday life components such as magazine articles, books, currency, recipes, or restaurant menus. Here she is showing how clearly the device processed a poem.
It’s quick and surprisingly accurate. The device is called the
KNFB Reader Mobile. Their most well known client is Stevie Wonder. Oh, and now Aunt Bonnie.
