Braille is still the standard when it comes to helping the visually impaired read. Unfortunately translating text into braille is costly and time consuming thus the disproportionate number of braille books. Voice Stick is an advance optical character recognition scanner designed to make all books available to the visually impaired.
As you pass the wand over a page, text in translated and read to you in a friendly voice. It can be used to convert any text from books, newspapers, contracts, mail, business cards, etc., into voice information.
Designer: Sungwoo Park
Good cause but how does a blind know the orientation of the words on the paper? Portrait, landscape or even upside down?
I suppose it’s just a concept again. OCR is still far from perfect, and scanning manualy a document won’t help.
Really.
Hm, and the “Voice Stick” link printed on the bottom of the last image has nothing to do with this, it’s just a VoIP company. Maybe the guy should have checked that before doing a nice 3D render with that adress. I guess that kinda proves it’s just a non-existing product.
its a good idea. but OCR mistakes may cause irritation. then we should read it ourselves. and how speed can it read? anyway good idea.
Is this only a concept? I have a blind friend who would love something like this. He’s not very good with braille
where can i buy this product and what does it cost??
A student in my class is blind.

My wife just went blind in seven days. She loves to read. How can I buy your Voice Stick?

où puis-je acheter le voice stick ?
I have to be honest, I don’t like the overly “conceptual” designs like this, it’s like painting two phonebooths silver and saying you’ve designed teleporters.
I think that this is just a concept but there are pen like devises that will read text out loud. I don’t know how well the work (or how suitable they are for blind/partially sighted) but one example is the reading pen from wizcom
I would suggest contacting your local bind and partially sighted society for advice on what is available
Do you all see the potential of this? Not only is this great for the visually impaired but could it not also translate foreign language into your own language? Imagine reading a newspaper from Tokyo!
Hi, We can record his own voice for reading?

by reading the above comments, I'm assuming most of the above are in the average age of 50 and below. I work with patients who are 70's to 100's plus. My patients are amazing in every sense of the word. I would love to have this "voice stick". The possibilities would be endless.
