[blindlaw] question about reading large documents

[Scott C. Labarre]

Hey folks, I haven't closely followed this whole thread and perhaps someone else has already mentioned this, but when I saw the discussion about the iPhone, it reminded me that the KNFB Reader app does a great job of converting pdf files.  The app is less than $100 and does a good job alos, of course, of taking pictures and putting documents into text.  That is its main purpose, afterall, but it also does a great job with pdf's.

Best,
Scott

 Hi Elizabeth. I don't think anyone suggested this and yes it is a great idea. M I often do this as well. Unfortunately though, I have found circumstances where I open the PDF in iBooks and it doesn't read it there either.

That way I can use my iPhone or iPad to listen to them using VoiceOver, or, if the file comes in pieces, maybe only convert the necessary pieces into Word for closer reading. Apple handles digital PDFs so beautifully.
