The abcDARIAN Device Helps Illiterate Adults

Adult illiteracy can be challenging to overcome due to social stigmas, but the abcDARIAN device is designed to help adults through the hard times.

The abcDARIAN is a transparent, two-sided and touch-enabled device. A simple skim over text will make it phonetically read out the words into an earpiece. It also comes with a stylus and has the ability to slow down speech feedback, just in case it’s reading too fast for one to grasp the reading. The abcDARIAN is a great little discreet learning tool that doesn't embarrass illiterate adults.
