I'm sure that soon there will be lots of tutorials around demonstrating how to create simple scripts for Windoweyes. It's wonderful that for much lless than $200 you can by an omni directional scanner and instantly know what kkind of serial you are holding, what that CD is in your hand, or what that can of soup or vegetables you bought is. Or carry your laptop or cell phone with you and scan stuff at the stores. These new programs bring this technology into the realm of affordability for all of us. Steve, let us know how it turns out. I predict that in the next five years even agencies will start moving toward purchasing applications that will run on cell phones to do all these things. It's so much more stable and practical and then you can take your technology where you need it. The old line companies will have to adjust to this trend or lose out. As Steve and others have stated on this list before, Why would anyone want to carry around programs running on large clunky notetakers or laptops when their counterparts running on cell phones work so much better and are more stable and easier to use? This day is here now. Many of us just haven't made the transition yet. So I hoist my virtual glass to true convergence in it's purest form. Anyone want to join me?

I just purchased a USB bar code scanner and I cannot wait to get it and use it at home. This is just so cool. With the release of Window-Eyes 7.0, we've been able to make our life a bit easier by using bar codes. In this short demonstration, listen as J.J. uses a bar code scanner and a Window-eyes script to identify packages and read product directions. http://www.blindbargains.com/redirect.php?redirect=3243 Steve To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes
