[gui-talk] reading instantly from the paper?

[David Andrews]

When you say "reader" do you mean software, or a human type 
person.  If a human, many of us used them for access for years, and 
when you have the right ones, they work great.  They can scan things, 
that is look over and pick things out, they can easily and quickly 
identify documents.  OCR tends to be best for longer stuff that you 
read straight through.  If you skip around a lot, hunt for things 
etc., a human might be your best access.

I know that is odd to today's students, but they do have their 
advantages, and we should use the tools that work best in a given situation.
