http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_intelreaderc.jpgIntel's Reader, developed by a dyslexic Stanford graduate, is a powerful device for dyslexic and visually impaired readers, allowing them to scan entire pages of text to audio for immediate playback or later review.
The book-sized device is capable of capturing text from a variety of sources, ranging from restaurant menus to academic journals. That scanned text can magnified and read on the device, listened to via on-board speaker or headphones, or exported to MP3.
Intel's Reader packs a high resolution camera and an Intel Atom processor, allowing it to quickly and accurately capture massive amounts of text.

The Intel Reader made its debut at CES and will be available for around $1500. It's not cheap, but it could be a life changing gadget for the 55 million people whose reading is challenged by dyslexia or vision impairment.
