[Electronics-Talk] Stand-alone OCR

[Brian]

         I would recomend the sara for a stand alone ocr reading 
sulution.  I do have one.  Before that I had a reading edge and a vera 
they were not quite as good they did not recignise as quickly as the 
sara does.  The sara can play audio cds and you can save your documents 
on cds as well.  There are many voices to chose from and there are many 
public domain  books that you can read. When you save a document in the 
sara you can name it with your voice.  I like this very much because if 
you want to read or add pages to your document you just go to that 
document and do so. Everything is all not in one huge file.   My local 
lions bought it for me so you might conciter thatoption.
