Hello Andy,

I've just looked on Amazon but I wasn't to clear to what books you are
referring to. You might get on with a Kindle with a physical keyboard. I
put expert gardener into the kindle search but I couldn't see any
memtion of a greenhouse book. Do you know the author? Or is it a
magazine? Who is the publisher? Nor does Amazon have any printed book of
that name.

I don't know if you knew that Gardener's World do a digital edition of
their magazine. It appears that one issue is £3.80. I'm assuming that
there would be a number of pictures but some useful text. You could ask
on the VIPhone list if anyone has tried this magazine for accessibility.

Hi  I'm  wanting  to read the expert gardener books, I've been in shops
asking for these on audio  disk  and they aren't  available at all. I've
looked on one of the sites  for downloading  audio books from and  still
they are not available.  I do have  a Iphone 4,  but I am not very good
in using it,  I'm thinking of selling it just now.   the main book I
want out of these is  the expert gardener greenhouse
I would be very grateful  if you  could find it for me, but at the
sametime I'll be surprised

Hi Andrew.

These machines will only scan in to a text format and then read out
using synthetic speech, this can also be achieved without having the
bother of scanning by buying the books electronically as I've indicated
in my mail. Perhaps you could email me off list with the books you want
to read, I could find out whether they are available in IBooks on my
iphone and let you know of the cost.  Do you own any apple ddevices at
the moment such as an Ipod Touch?

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Emma.

You either didn't read my email propperly or misunderstood my meaning.
Either way, I was suggesting that the purchase of an electronic book
might be a preference to buying an expensive scanning device and
spending the time to scan, proof read and if necessary edit the text.
If the book is for pleasure reading, many titles are sold on platforms
like Kindle for which there is an accessible PC version and IBooks for
the
Iphone, Ipod, Ipad etc.  This would certainly be more efficient a way
of accessing the material and possibly even more convenient and
considerably cheaper.

All the best, Ibrahim.

You can't do everything on your phone. Everyone wants to make
everything about their phone but their are some things that dedicated
machines like scanners can do. Yes, phone apps have their place but
they are still limited and not as strong as the hardware devices. This
is my opinion but I really think people don't always consider what
these things. Yes a phone is useful but it is not made to do the job
of what a hardware scanner can do.

Hi

Have you considered purchasing the books electronically? Many books
are
available as a box on kindle all your iPhone so it is well worth
looking at
this as an option as opposed to buying a dedicated scanning device.

Derek   Ok many thanks I did look on there  and had a read up of it,
sounds interesting  I'm only thinking of one of these because I've
bought
in the last year  four MFP  printers    and not one of them will
scan my
books one page at a time.

Hi

Freedom the scientific and humanware do such machines. The freedom
aside
to
take option is called Sarah as in scanning and reading appliance
and uses
a
camera. You can also get software solutions and use either an
external
flat
bed scanner all digital camera to capture the text. All the best,
