[Electronics-Talk] Stand-alone OCR

[Sandra Johnson]

Tracy:

Were you thinking of purchasing new or asking if anyone had one for sale?  I 
have an Optalec Clear Reader that I have advertised for sale on another 
list.  So far nobody wants it so, contact me if you are interested.  I am 
not sure what the price of a new one is but it was around $2,200 in 2012. 
On the other list I listed it for $1,000.  It is very simple.  It speaks in 
a very cleare    voice that can be adjusted to any speed or volume.  It does 
not connect to a computer and does not save any documents.  It was purchased 
by someone who thought it was  what I needed.  I do not use it since I 
prefer being able to save documents to my computer.

My husband can no longer see well enough to use his magnifier to read the
things the he wants to or needs to.  I thought I'd research stand-alone OCR
for him.

He's not a gadget guy, so it would have to be simple and easy to use.

It should have an ability to switch between regular mode and columns mode,
so he could look at bills or tables in books.

He has no interest in learning to use a smart phone.



I googled, but got a lot of out-of-date data, so I'd be interested in
recommendations.

Tracy
