It doesn't come up in English, but if you arrow down through what clearly are language choices, to en, and enter on it, it will change to English -

Hi Steve
The link I gave in my email, I've clicked on it twice. It is the
English site, I mean, it is in English. Here again is the exact same
link which I have just coppied from my last email.
http://www.sensotec.be/products/detail.aspx?ID=349
I can't understand what's going on because you and Andrew say its in
another language but I'm reading it here in absolutely perfect
English, the exact same link I'm emailing and have previously emailed?
I have no idea what's wrong, but from my end, and rechecking the link,
this is definitely English.

Hi,

No, it wasn't, the link you gave was the Belginan site.

All the best

Hi Andrew
I'm a bit confused, maybe check your screen reader because the site of
the Sensotec Reporter I emailed to the list is the English site, I was
talking about the magazine article I can't find that's in Dutch. If
you have your screenreader set to detect language changes, maybe
switch that setting off, because it could be that even though the site
is actually in English, it is written using code of another language.
If you're still having a problem, ask a sighted person to try read it.
I'm sorry, I just can't think what the problem you might be having
could be because the link in the email is to the english version of
the site.

Hi Andrew
Just so that you do know, I read an article last year about these
products where standalone reading machines were compared. In their
comparison they found this one to be the most accurate, not the Sara.
Here is the English web site.
http://www.sensotec.be/products/detail.aspx?ID=349
I will look for the article for you. It was from a Belgian computer
magazine for the blind called Infovisie. It is in Dutch, and I could
only understand it because its near enough to afrikaans, but you can
try google translate it. I'll look for it and email it to you. If I
remember, I think the reason they gave for this being the most
accurate product was they said the Omnipage engine it uses is better
than the Finereader engine Sara apparrently uses, but I can't be sure.
The others they also compared were the Poet from Baum and something
called Sophie Pro from Handytech in Germany. I don't really remember
what their findings were on those two, I just remember that they gave
the Sensotec above the best award.
I also don't know if they still sell it, but there's also another
reading machine from Australia which actually sounds very nice because
it has an A3 scanner size, so you can scan the book more easily or at
least two pages of a hard book at one time. I'm sorry, but even though
it sounds nice I have no idea how good it is and haven't read any
reviews of it. The good part about this one is you can order it
online, maybe you can email them and ask for more info if you want.

Hi Andrew, you don't need to spend an arm and a leg on special access
tech
stuff to read print. All you need is a scanner. You can get a USB
scanner,
such as the Canon LiDE 210 for 60 quid or so. If you go down the access
tech

route it'll cost you hundreds to do the same thing. Ok,
                    John.

  So  what is the price of one of these machines?  will it read  stuff
on
glossy paper also? will I be able to read my bank statements on it?
I
  mainly would like this for reading gardening books,  would it  ignore
the
  graphic? Is there any thing this  machine will not read?  I think I
shall
  get one as long as all my  questions are answered.
