By pressing the appropriate buttons on Cyclops’s keyboard, a blind person can "read" any【C4】______ document in the English language.
This remarkable invention represents a tremendous stride forward in the education of the handicapped. At present, Cyclops costs $50,000.

Within a few years, Kurzweil【C6】______ the price range will be low enough for every school and library to own one.
