I forget the name of the machine that John uses.  You could email him and ask 
him, if you want...

      Thanks for that explanation. I didn't realize that was the way the 
scanner worked. I imagined that you stood there put a pile of pages on the 
feeder. It's sort of remote control.

What kind of Braille machine that John was using? It had a speaker, too.

      The book was already sitting in the scanner tray, and I was clicking on 
the scanning progam software, telling it where to put the finished .tif file 
(for conversion to .rtf using the OCR software).  I then clicked on 'Start 
Scanning' and the scanner sta rted zipping through the pages (the next couple 
of shots).

  Starting to scan a book? I guess I missed that--I
didn't notice anyone feeding the machine. Were you
also at your computer validating or typing in
something?
