Hi Darran

We have the ReadEasy stand-alone portable scanner from Visionaid which has very 
good recognition.  It is a camera-based machine which we keep downstairs.  It 
isn't cheap, but it is very useful for scanning our mail, Talking Books, food 
packaging and other items.  I can let you have more info off list if you wish?

Kind regards,

Jackie Brown
