I don't think it's the cost of a scanner that holds people back; it's the cost of a good scanning program with Kurzweil costing almost $1000; this can be a hardship for many would-be scanners. This is no way to be considered a negative comment about Kurzweil, as in fact they are very generous in giving copies of their program to award-winning college students as well as at conventions for advertising purposes.
