What can RFID do for the visually challenged people? Ask TellMate, a newly launched RFID system by S.J Chin. It enables blinds to identify daily used objects such as food items in a kitchen room or things kept in the wallet. It also helps them to identifying credit cards for payments. Wonderful!
The TellMate RFID system consists of a scanner and label reader. It uses RFID tags to identify daily used articles.
It comes with three RFID function buttons. The first button is meant for recording descriptions. The second button enables playback the recording and the last button stops the playback.
The RFID system can be put within a few centimeters of the object tag to hear the recording. The device also provides some entertaining services like FM radio and MP3 songs. It also possesses a digital notebook of reminders, observances and lists.
