so you have no luck Steve, Pity it does sound like a good machine, I just wonder on the price difference between this one and the Sarah scan and read. From what the article said that Ari posted it doesn't sound a lot different to Sarah scan and read really.

Reporter Smart
Reporter Smart Reporter Smart Lezen is vanzelfsprekend Lezen wordt zeer eenvoudig met de Reporter Smart. Eén druk op de knop is voldoende om een tekst te laten scannen, herkennen en voorlezen. Tekst uit een boek, een brief of een bankafschrift, in lijnen of kolommen: de Reporter Smart vindt er zijn weg in en leest het voor met klaar en helder stemgeluid. Maar het toestel doet meer: het herkent tekst in meer dan twintig talen en leest bestanden van CD, USB of SD-geheugenkaart. Beluisterde teksten slaat het op als tekst of mp3. De Reporter Smart leest voor, speelt muziek af, navigeert in Daisyboeken en bewaart wat voor jou belangrijk is. De nieuwe Reporter Smart biedt je veel meer dan wat je van een voorleestoestel had durven dromen. Een leestoestel dat overtuigt De Reporter Smart is ontworpen voor iedereen die moeite heeft met lezen: blinde en slechtziende personen, maar ook personen die problemen hebben met gedrukte tekst om andere redenen zoals lees-, leer- of taalmoeilijkheden. Als leestoestel is de Reporter Smart zo eenvoudig in gebruik, dat je helemaal niets van computers hoeft af te weten om ermee te kunnen lezen. Met één druk op de knop heb je een duidelijk resultaat. De Reporter Smart ziet zelf hoe het blad ligt: dwars, rechtop of ondersteboven, de oriëntatie van de tekst en de positie van het blad maken niet uit. De foutenmarge is gering, de geluidskwaliteit is superieur, de meegeleverde stemmen zijn uitstekend en garanderen een duidelijke verstaanbaarheid. Functionaliteit voor wie meer wil De Reporter Smart is flexibel en past zich aan je profiel aan. Afhankelijk van je noden kan het toestel op twee verschillende manieren ingesteld worden: basis of gevorderd. Heb je vooral nood aan een toestel dat tekst scant en voorleest zonder op bijkomende functies beroep te doen, dan blijft de Reporter Smart ingesteld in zijn basismodus. Extra functies zijn uitgeschakeld en brengen je niet in verwarring. Voor gevorderde gebruikers heeft de Reporter Smart alles in huis om teksten niet alleen te beluisteren, maar ze ook op te slaan, erin te navigeren, ze te beheren, te bewaren en te delen. Door het invoeren van een eenvoudige toetsencombinatie schakelt de Reporter Smart over naar zijn uitgebreide modus met tal van extra functies.

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. Ari On 1/7/13, Steve Nutt <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

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. Ari On 1/6/13, andrew shipp <andrew.shipp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Ari, wow didn't know about these others I would be
very interested
inthe one from belgem. I did have a look on the site you
gave in the
but couldn't understand it. I would be grateful if you
could find it
in English please Ari. Many thanks Andy S -----Original Message----- From: Ari Damoulakis Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 7:13 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sarah scanner and read machine 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.

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

read? I think I
shall get one as long as all my questions are answered. ** To leave the list, click on the
