<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>OK this has some awesome uses for blind teachers as
well. My students I tutor can write on this, and I'll then have a digital copy
of their work with out sacrificing their handwriting work by having them typing
for things I don't want them typing. I'm totally going to check this out!!!
Thanks I've learned so much from you. I taught with you once at NFB and learned
a ton there. I'm so glad you are blogging!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I read that part of the reason that these kinds of
devices work, and can do OCR on hand-writing is that they also
track, and know in what order you do the strokes of writing.
This helps them decide what letters you are drawing. With a
system that only has an image of writing, it is apparently much more
difficult to figure out, hence no one does it
yet.<BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR>\At 08:37 AM 9/23/2011, you wrote:<BR>

<DD>Albert..to add to the story. When I first got the digimemo and

<DD>then translated it and only got an inaccessible PDF image I
was pretty<BR>
<DD>disgusted, and that is putting it mildly....more research into
this and I<BR>

when I copied<BR>
<DD>that image and it made text and jaws talked it...I thought I

The NFB-Kurzweil reader is the size of a phone because it is<BR>

<DD>
also has a camera attached. You hold it over anything in<BR>
<DD>print<BR>
<DD> about<BR>
<DD> your<BR>
<DD>
elbow to arm length, take a picture and it will read the<BR>
<DD>text to<BR>
<DD> you. I will<BR>
<DD>
do a longer blog on this to more fully explain its<BR>

Wow! It's not Sci-fi any more?<BR>
<DD>
<BR>
<DD>
Now, I want an ap that can scan and read hand-writing. I<BR>
<DD>can<BR>
<DD> always<BR>
<DD>
hope there already something in existence that I am just in<BR>
<DD>the<BR>
<DD> dark<BR>
<DD> about.<BR>
<DD>
<BR>

Thanks for sharing the topics which should be brought to<BR>
<DD>the<BR>
<DD>
attention of all blind students, families, and teachers and<BR>
<DD> administrators.<BR>

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