[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Ok Lori--there is
The NFB-Kurzweil reader is the size of a phone because it is a phone but also has a camera attached. You hold it over anything in print about your elbow to arm length, take a picture and it will read the text to you. I will do a longer blog on this to more fully explain its capabilites

just in the dark about.

>>Digital Handwritten Notes. it sounds like an oxymoron...kind of like a  hairy bald guy, but it is here.
>>
>>The writing surface is about the size 
  of a small piece of paper. The whole board is light and easy to carry and 
  about the size of an 8x11 piece of paper. It is a tiny computer and you can 
  add more RAM- with a memory card. 
>>
>>The blind student can take the 
  digital note-taking device to a class where the teacher is very driven by 
  writing on the board. The blind student hands it to a sighted student and she 
  takes notes on it. At the end of class, the sighted student rips off the pages 
  for themself and hands the board back to the blind student. The blind student 
  can then download all the notes onto the computer. In tangent with this is a 
  handwriting recognition tool, which translates the handwriting into digital 
  text that talking software can read. Note taking made easy.
>>
>>This is the 
  one I have been using and as long as the handwritten notes are legible, the 
  pad can read it to the computer. SolidTek DigiMemo 692 Digital Notepad with Memory by SolidTek
