Lori, you just told me your age which is around mine.--smile-- Yes, I had an optacon also--kind of bummed they went by the wayside.
It is coming though..sooner than we realize. The chip inside this digimemo is so small. It is just a matter of someone in the phone business of better with the knfb reader, adding it in and Viola....we have something recognizing handwriting in something portable

with accuracy for handwriting.

>As a former Optacon user, ideally, I'd like a tiny
handheld device that could give you more information about formating,
etc.

>>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

>>>>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.

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
