Hi all, I've been interested for a long time in scanning books (for my own purposes as well as for bookshare) but after checking the different scanning software, (Open Book etc.) I realized how costly they are. Do any of you visually impaired members out there know of any financial assistance one can receive in order to purchase technology for the blind? I understand why it is so expensive but to me, $1000 seems like a lot to spend on software. I'd be interested to know if their are any organizations who provides loans or grants to support this type of thing. Thanks. Lisa
