My Epson TX110, standard at 100 dollars does the job perfectly With abbey fine reader.
I don't want to insist with a dialogue which may jeopardize people's belief in a device which does, irespective of price or squalor of features, very interesting as there is a paltry ammount of books available over the net, especially those that i look for. But it also, at least for me, come to personal dignity. I don't want to go and beg for charity at this or that organization for a device which can rationally and marketably be proposed for half the price if not more with solid components. A church or a beneficial organization can instead then concentrate on real applications and research to benefit all the blind people at mid term instead of benefitting the little portion of blind people who will go to lengths to apply for subsidies and other protracted measures aimed at giving governements the clout to claim equality of rights. This money is not wanted, at from my perspective, as it creates an enteprise which is not up to par with what is really possible to do. Take for example the US government which shifted it's internal systems from buggy, slow and extremely expensive software from contractors to a mainstream platform. This is exactly what i mean though i can't criticize a device i have never touched and am just using this as a general direction . As for the makers of JAWS, i find it satirycal obviously and blatantly ludicrous and effectively wasting subsidy money to spend a year's worth of developement for a ffeature which allows you to Check basball and hockey scores. This totally broke the deal for me at a point when i thought i might have to get it for my cross platform network setup. Honestly, do they really think blind people are just cultured for baseball and hockey? It's such a an ironic situation that i almost cried after laughing my butt off listening to the freedom scientific guys talk about it's rich features in looking into details of the pro baseball season. On the other hand, this clarifies a much better view of the blind community. There are many elderly blind individuals who have had sight before and were probably fans of those sports, and this is where the money is going, feature requests. And therefore those organizations with money are pouring it in for basball and not interactivity or solutions to help younger blind users increase their cultures and capacities. Make them batmen and not baseballers. Sorry i'm getting carried away, i hope things go well with the eyepal and perhaps i will still drop by my center to ask if they have one to demo, at least i will have a concise opinion that will then be backed by all of the above, or i can shut my mouth for all the reasons aforementioned :) best regards, Yuma DX® -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
