Iranian Invents Multilingual Talking Book Reader

There’s not a lot of information about this invention from Ramin Sedighi of Iran, except that it’s a device with an electronic pen that scans words of a book and says them aloud. The news clip says that the device will teach languages to children ages 4 to 16, and that it can also “explain” pictures. Here’s the mystery catch though: the reader has 512MB of memory “for storing 15 books.”
