[blindlaw] KNFB READER, AnyoneUsingIt?

[John Ramsey]

Hello Michelle,
Which phone do you have the KNFB reader on? I am currently approved to get
one and am looking toward the N86. I asked the list if anyone knows of a
vendor with a license for the Wayfinder GPS but nobody answered. I am very
interested in a GPS but devices like the treker are cumbersome and awkward
when trying to go through courthouse security on a daily basis.
I have tried to explain to my counselor that maintaining a professional
appearance is essential to practicing law and am not interested in one of
these devices. If you or anyone knows of the Wayfinder or a GPS software
package please let me know.
Cordially,
John

Hello Roger,
I too use the KNFB Reader and have found it to be an invaluable tool in
everyday reading situations and in the practice of law. I currently have my
own practice, therefore I have to go out to meet clients and one of the
barriers I had to deal with was reading perspective client paperwork and
giving them a legal opinion right then and there. When I use the KNFB Reader
in front of them and show them that I can read their paperwork right then
and there and render them a preliminary opinion, they are quite impressed.
This little device has been extremely helpful in allowing me to more
efficiently practice law. Other lawyers are impressed as well. It is
extremely accurate at reading not only documents and books but I can take
saved documents that I have on my PC and load them and listen to them while
in transport. It doubles as a cell phone as well which is convenient. It
offers another level of independence and shows others that there is nothing
that blind and low vision individuals cannot accomplish. Also since you can
adjust the speed settings, I am able to read and assimilate information
faster than the average person. So far there has not been a document that
the KNFB Reader has not been able to process. This device has made a huge
difference in my life and I am confident it will fit your needs. I wish you
luck in your endeavor to acquire one and if you need any assistance, perhaps
in composing a letter to your counselor justifying this purchase, I would be
glad to help you. Best of luck.

Michelle
