New App Revolutionizes Menu Reading for the Visually Impaired

A Lay-off Leads to a Bright Idea

Prabha Mattappally found herself in a difficult situation after being laid off from her job. Seeking solace and advice from friends, she ended up sitting at a dimly lit restaurant with a group of girlfriends. As they struggled to read the menu, some even borrowing reading glasses, Mattappally had a realization. There had to be a better way for people to read small text in poorly lit places without the need for additional reading aids.
