- jorgem 16y agoYou don't have to be fully blind to be blind. Let's just say "limited vision."
- alextgordon 16y agoTry reading a book with your eyes closed.
- whatusername 16y agoGet a kindle. //Actually -- I'm not sure how limited the text-to-speech stuff is in the kindle. (as-in -- how many books in the store allow it. But on the couple that I've tested - it works great) Also -- audible/various other audiobook retailers are great.
- iskander 16y agoI know many blind people who use iphones, and they'd love a tool to help them read street signs, cereal boxes, etc... Blind people are patient by necessity, I'm sure there are many who wouldn't mind waving around their phone scanning for text.
- elliottcarlson 16y agoWhile I am sure that there is a use as an aide, and I have known blind people who are both patient and very independent, I doubt they would stand on street corner waving a phone around hoping to catch some text. That doesn't rule out that text to speech with translation wouldn't be beneficial - just not in this context imho.
