[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] knfb reader app?

[cheez]

It's quite obvious you don't have a print scanner at your disposal.  For you 
had, then you'd have a different attitude about this app.
Let me tell you, I had one of those KNFB Readers which were attached to a 
PDA, and this app eliminates the bulkiness that first reader presented, and 
it is much faster during the recognition.  And you don't have to press 
buttons to scan and read the material.
I think your best bet is to google comments from users.  then maybe you'll 
make up your mind to purchase it the next time it goes on sale.  If it does 
again.
