Hi Carol,
Slight correction, the RiVO is 80 pounds, not 89.
All the best

Alison,
I do have KNFB Reader but, for some reason, on my 4S it has ceased to work
in the last upgrade, so I've left it for the time being. This means that I
haven't even considered a document stand. There are a few around now but
I'm not sure which are over here. Amazon is probably your best choice to
try to find one.
I have two bluetooth keyboarfds, though I don't use them all the time as I
often use the Braille input facility now available to us and/or the mBraille
app. OK, the keyboards are the Apple Wireless Keyboard, which I've had for
years and got it first to go with my iPod. It's not by any means the only
offering out there and I would suggest, even if you want to havef an Apple
one, that you hold off until later this year when, it is rumoured, there
will be a new Apple keyboard available.
I have also recently purchased a RiVO keyboard, which is about the size of a
credit card, so not big. I hoped, after listening to a very good podcast by
David Woodbridge in Australia, that I'd get to taking it out with me. I may
well do this when needed, but it's not as fast as the Apple keyboard because
(on the RiVO) I'm using the older method of input where you have letters on
each number (remember the Nokia phones)?
The RiVO is quite expensive at £89, currently, and I'd suggest you listen to
the podcast before even considering this.
I think the podcast is on Applevis, but I have a copy that I could put into
my dropbox if it helps.
If you have any further questions about these two then do ask.
I'd just reiterate that there are other keyboards too and I haven't
necessarily got the "best buys"; though I'm currently very happy with what
I have. I know there is one which is popular which you can purchase from
Argos.
Sorry my info is a bit sketchy but I tend not to be able to bring to mind
all I've heard about.

Yes the podcast talked about this and also, how with the upgrade, you can
set it to save your documents to Dropbox.

very easy I do not use a Bluetooth keyboard when manipulating the app. The
other thing where it is very good is that if you have an image PDF file
you
can import this into the app and it does a fantastic job.

I have just been listening to the Apple-Vis podcast on KNFB where they

What did interest me is the new feature for scanning multiple pages. I
know about the Giraffe but it would appear there are other stands
which can also be used to assist with scanning multi-pages. What do folk

way out the very very best again my way of thinking is you only
have "one life if you get it the app will certainly be of great use
for reading text. get the best i say.

Hi, Looks as though Try Before You Buy is not here quite yet.
Having researched this a bit more, it looks as though that tweet
is correct. So I guess those who want to try it will have to wait
for 2.1. Sorry Eleanor.
All the best

There is a little confusion as to whether or not this try before
you buy is actually available. A tweet from them says:
Due to an unforeseen problem, Try Before You Buy is not available
in
V2.0 but is coming soon in V2.1.
Still, the update to 2.0 is there in the app store and says that
you can now try free for 25 pictures.
Cheers
