Hi,
Was wondering what a "KNFB reader" READER IS? I HAVE AN IDEA MORE OR LESS WHAT
IT CAN DO, BUT WAS WONDERING EXACTLY HOW WELL IT WORKS, AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS?
Anyway, the TextScout sounds brilliant, and I'll be watching that web address
to catch a demo copy as soon as there is one in English. With phones with 5 or
more Mega Pixels, these days, it seems obvious that they can be used to good
effect by us.
As for reading on a computer screen, I see that most Windows OS use a light
background, with darker colour letters on it by default, and all "Sighties" use
it just like that, without customizing their screen appearance. People with
less sight, however, seem to like the way I set up my screens, as far as
possible black background with white letters, preferably larger, while there
are no icons of pictures to be clicked. Also, I find all those pop-ups rather
irritating, so I tend to remove them.
As Digital cameras have become so advanced, I am sure such a device would be
able to make sense of most screens, except, maybe, the "Blue screen of death".
And it would be so nice to be able to quickly pull out my cell phone, and be
able to read a document on paper, right there and then!
Kind regards,
Deon
