January 29, 2008 Very Human Technology meets "Open to New Features" Posted by Daniel Shugrue at 04:32 PM | Categories:

This morning I was listening to NPR (BBC for Americans, more or less) on the way in to work and was very surprised to hear a story about a "high-end Nokia phone" running 3rd party software. Turns out the phone was our very own, S60-powered N82, running software that reads text to blind people. Pretty impressive stuff-- and it should be-- the price tag is $2000 for the software-- but this is cool: You take a picture of a piece of paper, and the software reads text on the page. Take a picture of a bag of coffee, and the software tells you if it is decaf or regular. Check out the story here.

Let me see if I got this right: A S60 3.1 phone thus at least in theory supporting both OCR and TTS APIs. And the software built on top of that sells with 2k bucks !? Who was saying that it is tough to make money on S60?
