Bummer that file format in which scans are saved is pdf. That notoreously
OCR's very badly in most cases.

I would think it would be possible since it is stored on a regular SD memory
card in a non-proprietary format (PDF, I think) that can then be converted by
any OCR software to RTF. Since there is no aperture determination needed or
focusing involved with fixed length focus, the only think left is does it have
smart cropping tech in the saving process.

I hope a blind person can use it. I don't care about their software in the
least, if it can work with Kurzweil 1000. Most scanners are initially set up
to take pictures, not do OCR. That's why there is Kurzy and OpenBook (don't
get me started on OpenBook!!!).
I'm gonna have to check this out! Thanks for putting me onto it, Valerie.
