Denise,

Not sure I am understanding you. when I saw it demonstrated it was doing so
with printed text. are you saying it can also do the same thing with hand
written documents?

Yes, I am so amazed at the accuracy too. I tried drawing pies and other
graphs and though when you translate the handwriting into text it will take
out the pictures, but the words are still there. If low vision, you can get
a PDF image of it and enlarge for the low vision student, or just keep it on
the computer and they can enlarge it themselves...technology is really a wow
thing

	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.
