Wow... I'd love one of these. In an ideal world, we'd all have one, but
the cost is just too prohibited for most of us. You wouldn't even be able
to get it with ATW or DSA.
Cheers

Hi,
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, to my surprise. There is a talking bar
code scanner called the I.D Mate. The previous model was called the Omni
but there is one coning to the UK shortly called the Summit. It is a self
contained unit with a database of over 2 million products It costs about
£1000 and it one reseller is the Force Ten Co.
I know many people on list will say there are better and cheaper ways of
labelling and identifying products. I agree cheaper but better? That
varies from person to person. I don't own one but it really would be great
to just identify a product like other sighted people just like that.
