Intel shows off the Intel Reader, it’s not what you think

I know you must be thinking about now “why does Intel need to get into the ebook reader market?” Don’t worry, what you’re seeing isn’t an ebook reader at all. The Intel Reader is actually a device that’s supposed to make it easier to read. It achieves this by taking a picture of any text, and reading it back to the user. See, not an ebook reader. The idea behind the Intel Reader is to help out those who can’t read: the blind, dyslexic, and others who would benefit from listening to text rather than struggling to read it. There is a stand that comes with the device so users can hold open a book to have it scanned more easily than holding the device and the open book at the same time.
