[Faith-talk] prayers needed for big decisions

[Rob Kaiser]

Do you have an open case now with Department of Rehab? If so, get them to
get you either a KNFB or a Victor stream. I do agree that if something is
hand-written, nothing will work. When I was in an apartment scomplex, & if
they were going to do any construction, they would leave a message on my
answering machine as I was @ work. Also, they had a monthly newsletter which
my Omni 1000 could scan for me. As I wrote before, it's sad that there are
still people that don't think they have to make things accessible.

It would be nice to have KNFB Reader Mobile on my phone, but the camera
resolution is not enough and does not include flash. I'm already working
with Catholic Charities so they can get friends of Man to buy me a better
option. The long run case is clear: I need to be able to read papers. But if
I can't, that's noncompliance. Any handwritten documents are out of reach,
period.
