Barry.
I'm not going to get into the pricing and value for money stuff here as
thats not what you have asked about.
I've been using the KNFB Reader for around a year now and frankly
wouldn't be without it.
Its great for exactly the situations you talk about, I regularly find
myself in meetings and get stuff chucked at me that I have to quickly
read. For example just last month I was at a Business Link meeting and
got a three page A4 doc, KNFB scanned it almost perfectly in seconds and
I listened to it using headphones on my N82.] Made notes on the content
as I went along on my pacmate then within around three minutes could
interact with the content.
amazing freedom!
Additionally I regularly use it to scan socially orientated stuff for
example my wife ( whuo is also blind) and I regularly go out for meals,
and I have happily scanned menus (although these can sometimes be
tricky) bills etc giving us amazing independense.
Finally (hope your not getting the wrong impression of me) I regularly
scan bottles of wine, tins food packets etc to find out what they are.
So all in all a fantastic product made even more so because it lives on
the phone which I carry with me, which actus as my internet connection,
GPS product, oh and of course enables me to chat and text people. Almost
forgot thats the purpose of the mobile!!!

Hi all
Although I do get quite a lot of information by email before
meetings that I attend, there are the inevitable last minute documents
that are handed out. I've read up on the KNFB Reader, but the blurb is
by the makers and distributors, those with a vested interest.
So, I was wondering what anyone who is actually using it thinks
of it's performance. Does it read documents accurately? Is it quick
and easy to use? Is it intrusive?
Many thanks
Barry
