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

[Deborah Kendrick]

The problem with Be My Eyes is that it’s a total crap shoot whether anyone is available when you need help.

If you use Be My Eyes the volunteer could read this information from a hard copy of the bill or from the computer screen. It's a free app.

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.
