Hi Tony
I've never tried reading a newspaper, but have fiddled about with reading
information on a box or packet with a certain degree of success. For
example, Martin wanted to know the instructions on how much water to use
with some Pathclear weed killer recently, and we obtained these instructions
using the Intel. It is slow to process, however, slower I think than
K-Reader is. So you could be looking at a full minute before it relays any
information it has picked up. It also has an annoying habit of saving
everything it reads, whereas K-Reader gives you the option of saving. That
said, Intel would work better for multiple pages like a book I think, and
there is some use for a person with useful sight to read the display on the
Intel as it can be adjusted, and keeps up in speech and visually what is
being read. There is a docking station available for the Intel as an extra
accessory that supports the device when it is being held to capture images,
but I don't have this part of it so don't know how good it is.
I hope that helps a bit. Remember though that these are just my own
thoughts, others may have a differing experience.
Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie,
Now when you say "slow to process" how long for example does it take to
process a normal page and is the old chestnut of reading newspapers still an
issue?
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony
The Intel Reader is a portable device that captures text and reads
it back
once you have photographed a document, pretty much like the K-Reader
does
except it isn't phone-based. The voices on the Intel are not bad,
and I
believe it has more reading options for someone with some sight than
K-Reader does. It's a nice machine, but my only criticism is that
it can be
slow to process. I can't comment on the Kindle, except it sounds
very
different in that it is an E-book Reader.
Kind Regards,
