Subject: Re: For those who can actually afford this, I am sure you are right about the majority of agencies, but I am proud to say that our agency is becoming much more receptive to those of us in the technology department recommending Apples. And, since he largest company that we contract with for computers and software carries Apple it is no problem getting hem on state contract. We also have the great fortune of having a local company that has training classes to teach Apple with VoiceOver and even two of the three rehab centers in our state an train their students on the Mac. 

In the last DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.

year and a half I have probably recommended and placed around 10 MacBook 
Pros and am doing an evaluation on a high school senior this week who has 
already requested that she be evaluated for a Mac for college use.  Given 
that her counselor is a Mac user himself that will be an easy one, and he 
will even be present when I do the evaluation.



The fact that DocuScan Plus is now available makes recommending the Mac an 
even easier recommendation now than it was before because it really is a 
quite usable and accessible app for scanning.



Cheree Heppe here:


Yes, especially with the Apple products, most agencies for the blind still 
operate on a one thing fits all modality.



Most Apple users have gotten their own devices, but, most blind people have 
not and most still use Windows based technology.

Lol,


I think your mistaken.  If you took a survey of people on the list, or of 
blind people with apple products in general, I bet you will find maybe 90% 
purchased their own stuff.  Agencies are still reluctant to hand out Macs. 
BTW, I don't see why the hostility is needed in your post.  My advice is 
less emotion and more spell checking.  I think people will take your post 
more seriously.


Thanks.

I disagree,


Since most the people on this list own Macs, iPads, iPods, notetakers, 
and god knows what else, I don't think saving $300 will be hard for most 
people.  At least in the United States.  Its just a matter of if you 
think its worth the trouble.  If a person can put away $30 a month, they 
could have it in less than a year.  I just don't think the price is that 
much of a hardship for most.

WHat do you feel is a fair price? This is a serious question. I have 
read a
number of messages where people have said the cost is to high. SO, what 
is a
fair price? What about the cost of a product like ABBYY Fine Reader at 
$100.

Is that a fair price? How do you equate a fair price based on features?

Hi.


I think looking at this price in a positive light just because it's 
lower

is

what keeps the prices high. It's accepted.

Be nice if they would toss in the camera for a few dollars more. :) I

gather

with the camera it would be almost $500. I would like to see a demo on 
the
Mac actually. THis is certainly a better deal than most other products 
on
the market that are geared toward the blind and visually impaired 
user.

Now

I may also be wrong, but didn't the $299 also give you access to the

web-based product and something on the iOS platform> assuming that 
becomes

available?

Hi Kevin

I made a quick test this morning with my canon lide 100 and it 
worked.

Now it is intresting to see if it can make something readable out of
swedish text. If so I deffently gonna buy this. More simple  solution
than use vuescan, to abbyy, and to textedit wich works well but very
much work to get a document scanned.
Regards Tony

Hey folks. SO glad to see this is finally available on the mac. One

question

comes to mind as I am not as familiar with this product. Does this 
only

work

with cameras like the hover cam, or can I use it with a cheap 
Canoscan

25?

Thanks so much.

Hello Listers.

DocuScan is now mac compatible and can be found on the mac app 
store.
Don't get too excited though, unless you have $299.00 to burn on 
it.

Hope this actually benefits someone.
