[Cinci-nfb] Need readers that can work with documents remotely (by email or fax)

[Deborah Kendrick]

Chris, 

Are you on the PTP?  That's Personalized Talking Print, the voice mail
reading service of CABVI.  I'm thinking that this is the type of thing that
you might find a reader to do.  

If you are already on it, then just send Janet Papin a messsage detailing
the need as you have done so succinctly here.  If you are not, then call
CABVI and get signed up!  

It's a wonderful service.  Every reader and every listener gets his/her own
voice mail box.  There are tons of magazines and newspapers read, but also
lots of individual needs met

Good luck.

Deborah

Hello folks. I realize just posting this to the Cincinnati Chapter List
might be too restrictive, but I need a remote fax service or someone able to
read faxes or email documents remotely for my jog.

 

I need to occasionally read utility bills that come in from sales prospects.
These usually come in as scanned PDF images or via an eFax line that sends
to my email. Since the text quality of these bills is degraded and in
columns, they generally don't lend themselves to OCR scanning from a program
like Kurzweil 1000 or KNFB reader. What I need is for the sighted reader to
answer specific questions from the bill (i.e., invoice amount, utility,
alternative supplier, usage data, etc.). I'm not sure if CABVI can do this
as the bills don't come in on a set schedule. In the past, there was a
service available called Read this to Me that did exactly this, but the
service was discontinued some time ago. If anyone knows of a service or
individual that could do something similar, I'd appreciate it.

 

Very Best,

 

Chris.
