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

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,

I share your sentaments about the Blaze and I've heard about that problem 
too.
Wow, I did not know the Eye pal ran on batteries.
Is freedom scientific the vendor for the Ace and role now?

I also liked the Ace and the role. I believe that one  has a screen and one 
does not. They remind me of an old transistor radio with the handle on the 
top. No camera sticking out in front and they can run on batteries and be 
taken anywhere and have pretty good  OCR. I saw  it at sea son a couple of 
years ago and thought it was very cool. My issue with the blaze is that 
there's no image stabilization or internal flash and I don't think it does 
that good of a job. You would have to hold it up over the document or put it 
on a stand. These other devices you can leave the document in front of them 
and take the picture.
