Hi Saville;
I mostlikely was not very clear, but with the KNFB reader, can you have
it read to you line by line.  This way you could read a bank statement,
after it was scanned.

If you put it in the M-power, you would read Braille, but given it is a
bank
statement, the columns may not make a whole lot of sense by the time it
comes up in the m-power

Hi Tiffany and others;

If I take a picture of a page of a bank statement, and store it on a
card, then put it in the m-power, will I just be able to read it with
speech or will I be able to use Braille?  

I will need someone to teach me what all the codes mean and I think it
will be easier to understand in Braille. 

For items like bills, is there any way to control the spead of how fast
it reads back to you or can you read back in line mode?

Do any of you have any muscular problem like I mentioned in my earlier
message.  If so, you can write me and let me know how you handle the
machine?

Any imfo is greatly welcome.

Hi Terry,

 

As Robert stated it will be a good idea to bring different documents so
you get a feel for how it reads them all.  You will be able to see it
domonstrated at the exhibit hall and lots of us at convention have them
as well.  So, I am sure you can find people who will be happy to help
you use one while at convention.  If you want you are welcome to call my
room at any time during convention and set a time where you can have
some nice and quiet practice with the reader. 

 

Take care and hope to see you in atlanta at the NFB convention,

Tiffany Manosh
