Hi Ibrahim,

 

I think you are missing the point of KNFB Reader somewhat.  It will not only
scan paper, but tins, packets and boxes.  Scanners that are flat bed won't
do that.

 

All the best

 

Steve

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.

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
