I think it's a computer / scanner / cctv with all the technical complexity
hidden from the user. I agree with george that there are probably a lot of
(probably mostly) elderly persons who don't want to bother learning how to
use a computer, but want to be able to read. This sounds like it would have
a market.
And if it is moderately portable, all the more.
Of course, having a computer, I would never buy it for myself. But I'm glad
someone is producing one.
Take care.

Well, it's a sooped up cd player because for a lot less money, if you have a
pc, you can get what you need to do your scanning and ocr and guess what,
you can already play cds on your pc.

It's much more than a souped-up CD player, it scans and reads. How
accurately remains to be seen. Has accuracy improved in the last five
years? I'm also interested in Pulse Data's ScanaR. Anyone use that? Beth
