[Electronics-Talk] Scanner

[Tom Evans]

Evelyn,
Sounds like you have the best combo and would always like to hear what works
best for people.
Sounds like you are well versed in K1000 and maybe best for big projects
like a book and probably does a better job, yet of you were starting new and
did not have anything and les needs and portable the KNFB reader ap, may be
best.

Tom,


I got my first computer because of kurzweil 1000.  I have the first cell
phone lersion of KNFB reader mobile and will soon have the current one which
will run on a Braille Note Touch.  I look at the two as being complimentary.
In the knfb mobile as I understand it now, you cannot do more than 50 pages
per file people you have to store nr files in Dropbox.  If I'm reader a
many-page magaoine or book and/or something long I want to keep, I want to
kse K1000.  Once one has made the K1000 pkraase, upgrades remain the same
price whesr you skip any or not.  I've had K1000 for almost 19 years and
want to keep it with a good scanner.

Tracy,
I have heard of many people buying the KNFB reader ap for maybe a
$100 and
then a for lack of a better term a holder or box to hold the smart phone so
proper light and distance for maybe another $50, not sure.  If this can work
and you have the phone, now there is a portable option for $150

I guess I need to buy a new scanner.  My old Epson works perfectly well, but
won't connect to my Windows 7 PC, and the PC it does connect to has just
died.

I want a scanner to scan music and books.  I need it to handle legal-size
paper.  I need it to interface well with Kurzweil and Sharpeye, my
music-scanning software.I would prefer not to spend more than $200.What do
people have they're happy with?

Tracy
