No, as far as I know, there is not one of those on mine.  But it does read 
money.  That's good, since both notetellers went kaput, and somehow, I lost 
the free one from NLS.  I have to see about getting one.  Pam.

That's how it goes with even scanning on the computer as you know. Back when
we had mobile speaks on the n6600 I think you could get a color identifier
on the phone. I was wondering if you have the color identifier on your
phone, I had forgotten about that when I was asking you about the scanning.
