Becca,
	I have a KNFB Reader Mobile, a cell phone with the Kurzweil reading
program installed on it.  Currently KNFB is working on an app that will work
on an apple product.  As for other apps, you will have to talk to the apple
people.
	The Kurzweil 1000 is a scanning program on my computer that I use to
read documents, using my scanner, (4 in one printer/fax/copier/scanner.
	I look forward to telling you more about it in D C.
Ted

Hi Ted.  I'm curious, is there an I phone ap that will scan even a single
document and then read it back to a person?  I'm pretty new at this cool I
phone stuff.  The bill identifier that was demonstrated at the convention in
Billings is the only ap I have on my Iphone for "seeing" things and I wonder
what else I'm missing out on.  I see that you made reference to a couple of
things in your message to Dar which I've never heard of.  Are these devices
that I should learn about?  Don't hold out on me, Buddy.  I'm desperate to
know about anything that will make my life easier.  Perhaps if you know of
any cool aps you can show me on the D. C. trip.  Thanks.
Becca

Dar,
	I haven't used my KNFB reader mobile program to read books.  I've
used it for many other items though.  I have heard from others that the I
products, etc, can not hold a "candle" to the Kurzweil products.  I have the
Kurzweil 1000 "scanning program" in my computer and did use it to scan a
book written by a class mate and it worked quite satisfactorily.
	They are working on an app for the I products but don't know just
when it will be available, nor how much it will cost.
	Glad to hear you got a library card,.  Use it in good health.
Ted

Hi folks,
Today I decided to miss mass and Jim went with me to the new library that
opened this last Monday. 
We wanted to take a tour where they were quite busy giving other tours. So
they took our phone numbers and names to call us when it would be a good
time to do this. 
We didn't feel unhappy about this, sense they took the numbers. 
What we did though was to get library cards. 
This is the first time that I have ever had a public card. 
They shared that we could take a book home if we wanted to do so. 
We also learned that we can down load books onto our I products. 
They helped us fill out the paper work as well as reading the numbers to us
from each card. 
We will wait for a month if we don't hear from them, then we will call
again. 
We were wishing that we had an app that we could scan the page of the book
and have it read to us. 
Ted have you done this with your phone with a library book, and if so, how
well did it read? 
Jim thought that your phone was still a better deal at this time until
someone improves and updates the I products. 
We also learned that anyone across the state can get a library card. 
Just wanted to share on behalf of our fun day. 
I am sure Jim will share more about the day when he gets to reading the
list.
