Thanks for that Steve. I can recall discussions re the camera from before.
That would not be a problem for myself. I really shuld download and try it out
as it could probably be beneficial for some things.

Hi Eleanor,
The software is called Beyo CBS Reader. The cost as you say is 75 pounds,
and it does work, but you need to invest a little time and practice to get the
camera alignment right. I can do it and I am totally blind, but certainly not
everyone can do it, but then not everyone has the inclination to persevere with
it. If you do, the rewards are great.
All the best
Steve

You are right phone switch is a more effecient means of transferring data
from one phone to another. I would have thought that someone with an N86 could
tell you how to get to phone switch. Phone switch does indeed use the
Bluetooth mechanism for transferring data. I would have also thought you
should be able to remove a memory card without sighted assistance but again I
could be wrong. On all my phones I have no difficulty in removing a memory
card but maybe you have dexterity problems. Someone should again be able to
tell you the procedure for removing a memory card from the N86. Finally the
OCR is Bayos or something like that, I have not got the spelling correct. It
is a software package which can now be used on Mobile phones with Talks and
costs in the region of £75 but again I can stand corrected.

I wonder did you use phone switch to copy your contacts.
no i used the old fashioned blue tooth and the long winded way of opening
text message and move to contacts list
not sure what phone switch is
but from what i can make out it is a quicker way of transferring data
One way of knowing if they are on the memory card is to take out the
memory card and see if they are there on the phone.
for this i will need sighted assistance
i can do that myself on my e90 but this handset is not so easy
You might also like to take out your SIM card to check for certain in
case they are on the SIM.
again this would require sighted assistance but i will certainly see about
those last two suggestions thank you.
Are you talking about OCR technology? I am not sure. That is Optical
Character Recognition which blind people use when scanning in a document
(print) to read with a screen reader.
i got an email from the previous owner he said this is something used to
scan things like menu's in restaurants etcetera but he did not get on with it
mind you i have not found anyone yet that has
i also heard that this software is not all that reliable
he did inform me that sight and sound do a version for £650
not able to afford that unless i can get a grant or funding
so once again thank you for your help
