Hi, I see that Computer Room Services are the authorised UK dealer for the Si Recognizer, a handheld mobile talking scanning and snapshot OCR program and available from Si Systems in Italy. They apparently use the ScanSoft Daniel voice for english, voice sample on site: http://www.itex.info/sisystem/english/index.html It would be interesting to do a feature or article - and perhaps have Steve Nutt talk about and demonstrate - on the Si Recognizer; plus also their other two programs - Si-RSS (29 euro), and Si-Chat (49 euro). (They are each available initially for a 15-day free trial.)
