Hi, all - I'm really interested in volunteering to help get more books into the library, but am not exactly sure which direction to take with respect to software. Frankly, I don't really want to make the large investment in one of the applications specifically designed for the blind if I don't have to (I am totally blind, I should say) and am wondering about some of the off-the-shelf scanning programs and how easy (or not) they'd be for a blind person to use -- obviously, I know nothing about them and have only used one of the blind-specific programs several years back. If folks don't want to clutter up the list with a discussion that's probably taken place more than once in the past, please feel free to write me off-list ad the address below my sig. Many thanks for your feedback. -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL ka3agm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
