Being visually impaired has its share of challenges.  One of those challenges is getting books that can be read.  Braille books are hard and expensive to produce - and so they are somewhat rare.  The Voice Stick (brainchild of Sung Woo Park) allows visually impaired individuals to read via optical character recognition software.  Now that is an ingenious idea.

“Voice Stick is a portable text scanning device for the visually impaired.When it scans printed letters, the OCR function recognizes the texts and converts the written information into a voice.The portable stick, Voice Stick, can be used to convert any words or letters found in our daily life, such as in books, newspapers, contracts, mail, etc., into voice information.”
