The FingerReader developed by the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.The FingerReader is a Braille scanners for the visually impaired people.It is a finger-mounted computer to help visually impaired people that reads text aloud, in other words it scans printed text and reads it aloud.
It works basically as a fingertip moves along lines, a camera in the ring records and analyzes the words, and are then said in a robotic voice.The FingerReader uses other tech like vibrations are given to the user when reader nears the end of a line and to note where a new line begins and also able to translates other languages.

Reachers Said, "the FingerReader is a wearable device that assists in reading printed text. It is a tool both for visually impaired people that require help with accessing printed text, as well as an aid for language translation. Wearers scan a text line with their finger and receive an audio feedback of the words and a haptic feedback of the layout: start and end of line, new line, and other cues. The FingerReader algorithm knows to detect and give feedback when the user veers away from the baseline of the text, and helps them maintain a straight scanning motion within the line."
