All - Please see the list of primary new features you will find in our
version 6.1.9 upgrade, which should be available for download from
knfbreader.com at some point later today, February 4.  I expect to post a
notice on the reader-users  list when the download is active 
again.  Meanwhile, here are
the primary new features.



Primary new features of Version 6.1 upgrade to Mobile Reader Products



Foreign language text recognition, along with the ability to speak in up to
16 different languages;



Rapid, on-the-fly translation from any of the same set of foreign languages
back to U. S. or U. K. English, such as translating Spanish to English in
only a few seconds;



A clear, bright image of the target document automatically displayed on the
phone screen to help users with vision align each picture before it is
taken;



Corresponding visual and audible command prompts and system messages;



Easy to display options menus to help users find and execute all commands
quickly and conveniently;



Shortcut keys for most-used commands to enhance efficient use, particularly
by those with experience;



Context relevant user settings options so needed settings can be found and
changed quickly;



An improved approach to text navigation which makes reading and skipping
through text more efficient;



Dramatically faster processing so text reading often starts in about five
seconds after the picture snaps;



A selection of new system and text reading voices which may vary based on
text-reading language chosen; and



Use of the Nokia 6220 Classic as an additional and slightly less expensive
platform.
