Denise and all,

I actually had a friend  who uses this tool demonstrate the same in my
presence. It is fantastic  and very very precise. It is more precise then my
kursweil scanner.

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

	Wow! It's not Sci-fi any more?
	 
	Now, I want an ap that can scan and read hand-writing. I can always
hope there already something in existence that I am just in the dark about.
	 
	Thanks for sharing the topics which should be brought to the
attention of all blind students, families, and teachers and administrators.

		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
