Hi Barbara,
I don't know the price yet, but it supports more handsets currently than
KNFB, as it supports a lot of the newer 3RD Edition phones, N79, N85 and N86
for example. I guess KNFB will get to these phones, I understand they are
already testing on the N86, but I know nothing of this as fact.
All the best
Steve

Coming in very late on this thread, but a couple of questions before I go
online to do some research into Text Scout. Don't want to waste my time if
it's not an option for me.
How much does it cost? And is it currently limited to certain handsets?
