00:08to provide an immersive reading experience.
00:11Wung Jin Think Big says its new platform, Bookstory, scans a book, detects its contents
00:17and then converts it into an audio or text version instantly.

00:27translate books into various languages.
00:29In our reading mode, we were able to put the scanned book under the camera. Once the book
00:34is detected, we're able to flip to any kind of page and it's able to automatically read
00:41the book back to you.
