Folks:
Just FYI, I recently contacted Plustek regarding some stuff on their website &
actually received a reply back from one Erich Huang. He states in part:
Actually we are working on a solution especially for visual impaired people,
which is the bookscanner implemented with TTS, resulting a "reading
machine".
Please refer to....

They have some videos up there u can look at if u have broadband or download,
if, like myself, u have dialup. 1 of these videos actually had the program
reading in Chinese, so, while this may not be something most of us would b
interested in, simply because we have the software we need already, it may b
something others could use--dunno. Please note that the quote above is exact.
They are based in Taiwan, & I'm sure English is a 2nd language. That is not 2
b taken as being condescending--I admire any1 who is willing 2 undertake the
learning of any language. HTH.
