I have it and really like it. I don't use it for scanning books because it would be a pain to save them on the computer for bookshare, and sometimes, even with the stand they have for it now, it's still hard to get a paperback right. but it's great for mail or reading menus. the OCR is very good. Have a blessed day, Nicki We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 _____ From: maithe007 [mailto:maithe007@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 9:49 PM To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookshare-discuss] question about handheld reader Hi list! Has anybody here seen or used the Kurzweil-NFB handheld reader/scanner? I am very interested in this technology, but it is hard to find a distributor in my area. If anybody here has used it, what is your opinion? Thanks in advance! Maithe maithe007@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
