[Electronics-Talk] Scanner

Wed Sep 7 00:37:36 UTC 2016

Tom, I think they  serle different purposes to some extent.  I am 
not a K1000 expert.  Actually, some cameras will work with K1000 
now.  I have no interest in that.  Soon i shall have the current 
KNFB Reader  Mobile for the Braille Note Touch.  It will be free 
as part of the next update.  I don't currently have it on a 
current phone because I do not have a smart phone.  I do more 
straight reading than anything else with both of these, but 'z I 
said, my KNFB Reader Mobile is currently what I bought in 2008 
along with the Nokia N82.  It still runs.

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
