With the one mobile app you can control and check all your household sensors, or you can program Iris to send you text-message alerts when, say, your back door is open.
Some of the new offerings: free software that can tailor the text on any Web site to your personal visual needs, and a cellphone that can snap photos of text -- like signs and restaurant menus -- and read it back to you.
However, this tends to increase the size of all the other text or everything else on the page too, and maybe you just want your Facebook news feed back the way it was.
