Blind in the 90's? No Smart Reader or OrCam MyEye yet, we had to use this!
This week we are dusting off the Kurzweil Reading Edge! This 90's era mammoth of a reader provided state of the art (relative to its time) assistance for those who were visually impaired in the 1990's. So wind back the clock with Cory and Luke in this retrospective where they review, compare and pontificate on the advancements in assistive technology over the past three decades.
