According to Howard Vice President Kyle McCoy, “This is a wonderful product, and there has been a real need for it for a long time. It has great potential and we’re proud to work with Intel in marketing it.”


The Intel ® Reader was developed for users that have reading-based learning difficulties such as dyslexia, or difficulty working with printed material like people with blindness, low vision, Macular degeneration, or

other visual challenges. It enables users to take a picture of printed material, which is converted to text and read aloud. During playback, the user can view the highlighted text scrolling across the screen at a desired size and speed or view the original document photo. When used with the Intel ® Portable Capture Station, users can capture large amounts of text for school, work, or pleasure.

We are happy to work with Howard Technology Solutions to provide an innovative solution for communities of people who have difficulty accessing standard print because of learning difficulties or vision problems that can make reading a challenge,” said Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Digital Health Group. “The Intel ® Reader can help people more easily access information that many of us take for granted every day, such as a job offer letter or even the menu at a favorite restaurant, improving their quality of life and helping them reach their full potential.”
