You can save files, import files and images for conversion to  text for use with text to speech and corrects the orientation when scanning to read the text. Available across platforms for iOS, Android and most recently Windows for smartphones or tablets, KNFB Reader app provides instant access to print in any situation.

New features to the KNFB Reader 3.0 app includes text to Braille and management of PDF and ePub documents. Developed by Sensotec nv, this tool has been around for a long time with continual innovation of portable access to print for individuals with disabilities.
