Hi everyone,
This discussion of the Reading Edge is interesting. Of course, there was
the hardware/software version called the Reading AdvantEdge.
However, at that time, I was using TeleSensory's Oscar. It actually used
its own processor which fit into a DOS PC.
Oscar was good for the time, early 90s. However, one could not scan even a
clean document without a lot of errors, some of which were memorable.
I was scanning material for a conference so that I could braille it. I
suddenly saw, "Do not accept personal snacks." That didn't make sense to
me, especially since I was hungry. A colleague looked at the original and
told me that really said personal attacks. It would also give me malting
instead of mailing, so I guess it had food on its mind.
I am currently using Kurzweil 6. There is no comparison between the two.
Rick
