Thanks to all who advised me on the KNFB Reader.
It does sound like a very useful piece of kit. It was first suggested to
me
by an Access to Work advisor, so ATW would be paying for it.
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry.
I've never used this, but it will only work on two phones as I'm aware,
the
Nokia 6220 classic and the N82. If you haven't either of these phones
then
forget it as you wont get best performance. Its made by the same people
who
make Kurzweil, so its bloody expensive for what it does which is
essentially
scan in documents using your digital camera on the phone. If you've a
laptop that you regularly take in to meetings with you IE to take notes,
you
might find it cheaper to buy yourself an external USB powered scanner and
use that instead with supporting software.

Subject: [access-uk] How good is the KNFB reader
Hi all
Although I do get quite a lot of information by email before
meetings that I attend, there are the inevitable last minute documents
that
are handed out. I've read up on the KNFB Reader, but the blurb is by the
makers and distributors, those with a vested interest.
So, I was wondering what anyone who is actually using it thinks of
it's performance. Does it read documents accurately? Is it quick and
easy
to use? Is it intrusive?
Many thanks
Barry
