What problem is being solved and how?

People with impaired vision or even blindness can have their letters read aloud by the Vorleser. The device is based on a Raspberry Pi and a camera, so it can be easily replicated.

Why is it a good example?

There are not always other people around to help the visually impaired. The reader enables self-reliance. It is also inexpensive and repairable due to its simple open-source design. Therefore, the device helps even in countries with poor health care.

How you can support
