The OCR has some troubles that hims needs to take care of if they want people to be able to scan with it. The web radio stations work like a charm, as to blue tooth you can use blue tooth speakers and headphones with the unit. I use one and love it as well. On 12/4/2015 4:34 PM, Dane Trethowan

Firstly I believe there were issues with the OCR technology the Blaze EZ uses, has this been corrected? Second, what about the Web/Internet radio function is this now working? Can you connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones or speakers to this unit or do anything else with the Bluetooth? Thanks

Yes this is an Android desktop computer of the smaller variety. The machine I’m getting only has 1GB of RAM but this probably will be quite enough. I’m hoping to be able to get the Talkback Screen Reader working on the Rimix. The Remix has a HDMI port for audio/video thus it can connect straigh
