Hi, Cindy. K1000 is not a machine but software, and there are different
versions, but K1000 is always K1000, no matter the version. They do have
K3000, but most blind and visually impaired people don't use that, so it's
safe to call it K1000, no matter which version people are using. Take care.

Way to go, Gerald!
I think one problem here is that so many people are
scanning and so few are validating. Maybe more would
validate if more credits were given for it vis-a-vis
scanning, especially since a lot of scanners seem to
scan and upload without pre-validating or even using
K's ranked spelling, as E suggests.
BTW, should I still be referring to it as K1000 if
there have been updates? IS K1000 themachine itself?
