But the Reading Edge is no longer being manufactured. What kind of scanning
software would you use for a Braille Note? It couldn't be Kurzweil, so what
other software would you use for OCR? I'm not trying to be difficult
here...I'm really curious. Take care.

Oh, no, Julie,
You can get scanners to read with notetakers. Back in '93 I took out a loan
and bought a reading edge. It scans, converts to ascii text, and reads the
result in voice. I was using Braille and Speak at the time to go online,
participate in live chats, host my topic on Delphi, etc. I called Blazie
Engineering, the people that produced Braille and Speak and got a cable to
use with reading edge. I could then download what I scanned onto a disk in
the disk drive that one could purchase for Braille and speak. Then I could
load the contents of the disk in to Braille and Speak, correct the scanning
errors, send the corrected text to a disk, and add my new book to my library
in the file box. I think Pulsedata has made a scanner that will work with
braille note and possibly voice note. I'm going to talk to my pulsedata
rep. about it. There are things out there. One has to be careful to get
the right kind of scanner, one that produces an ascii text file and not
that other kin
d!
. I'll let you know what I find out when I get the chance to talk to the
representative. Hope this helps someone.
