I am not blind and pledged for one; looks like a great idea at an affordable
price. I hope others step up, too!

Hi folks. We are rapidly loosing our chance to have a book-reading
attachment for the Fopydo stand for the blind. The developer took the time
and made the effort to offer a modified version of his stand that we can use
and he has the book-reader attachment ready to go. He needs our help. He is
just a working man like many of are or were and has spent some of his own
resources to bring us the stand and I think we owe him some support in
helping him to bring his book-reading attachment to market. He has just 6
more days to raise the $4.000 he needs to begin production and only 48
backers so far. If a hundred more people contributed $20, he would be very
close to his goal. My wife and I are retired on fixed incomes and we
contributed $50 so I don’t think $20 is asking too much. I apologize if some
think this is inappropriate but, since many of us have ocr software on our I
devices, a book-reading attachment to an already very good stand would be
very useful to us.
I’m pasting the developer’s description and link to the kickstarter project
below.
I designed and manufactured Fopydo Scanning Stand for the Blind and Visually
Impaired. I am contacting you because you showed interest in the Fopydo
Scanning Stand and I have just launched a kickstarter campaign for the Book
Reading Aid that is compatible with the stand. I am asking for your support
to gauge if there is interest in manufacturing of this product. Your support
will also be a great help with preparations for a production run since my own
resources are limited. If you know others who may be interested in this
project - please let them know.
If you are new to the Kickstarter concept, the Rewards section of the web
page lists various pledges that you can make to support the goal of
manufacturing this product and making it widely available.
Here is the link to the kickstarter page:
