Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) on Monday introduced a feature on its
Echo Show virtual assistant that helps blind or visually impaired
people recognize common household pantry items.
The "Show and Tell" feature is activated when customers hold an
item in front of the Echo Show and ask Alexa what they are
holding.
Amazon said it collaborated with Vista Center for the Blind and
Visually Impaired in Santa Cruz, Calif., to build the tool.
