Hi. There is also the Sara Scan Reader from Freedom Scientific and it's a stand
alone device which gives accurate results!

Hi Alison
I believe HumanWare sells a similar stand-alone scanner called the Roll, part
of the EyePal family. We tried this before settling for the ReadEasy Move,
but the latter came out on top for recognition and speed. In fact, I
personally didn’t like the design of the Roll very much. I think both
scanners are priced similarly.
Kind Regards,

Hi Alison
If he is looking for a good, fast stand-alone scanner, then I recommend the
ReadEasy Move. We have one for downstairs use and have never regretted
purchasing it. This scanner is available from Visionaid, and costs around
£1,500. It has tactile buttons, is extremely easy to use, and is equipped
with the usual Daniel and Serena voices. I agree it isn’t cheap, but then
none of the stand-alone models are!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

I am in touch with a man who has a significant hearing loss, although he
copes in quiet situations. As his sight is now failing, he has asked me if I
can recommend a scanner for him. It would need to be reasonably priced but
also have good quality speech output.
I am very much out of date with what is available. Has anyone any
suggestions? I sense he is looking for a piece of stand-alone kit.
Alison
