[Trainer-Talk] scanning and reading device for non pc user

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,

Is the Ace a type of Eye pal? It sounds like it is from what you say.
Are the buttons different shapes? Are they rubber ones? If I remember right, 
the Sara has rubber buttons; I know they are large.

Does it have more than one speech synthesizer?
When you say compact, does this mean you can put it in a backpack easily? 
How much weight is it?

Thanks.
Ashley

The EyePal is good  also. The Ace and the roll are very compact but have 
well marked buttons.
