Mike;
I have been using the report that tells me the percent accuracy.  I am
usually 0 to 5 percent.  When I tried my first time at national I was at
4%.

What does the "Field of View" Report tell you?

  Vicky, Tracy and others;
  Can anyone give me any advice on why I am having trouble getting the
  return addresses on mail?  Could it have been the camera battery?  How
  do I tell if I am to close or to far?  It is not even picking up 
writing
  on the right side of the envelope.  I have tried memo and labels mode.
  Sometimes changing helps a little, but not enough to get a full return
  address.
  Thanks for any help.
  Terry Powers

  Hi Janice.
  Like Jim, I use the reader mostly for mail.  My husband's sight has
  deteriorated significantly over the past couple years, and I am very
  happy
  to be able to help him out by sorting out the important stuff from the
  junk.  And I glance through the catalogs and stuff he used to just 
throw
  out.  Fun!  I also read the tiny local paper, which can be 
interesting,
  and is too big to fit on my scanner.  And, last time we went away, I 
was
  able to read the room service menu!  I've also read menus for several
  local restaurants, and found things we didn't know they had.  And
  avoided
  the horrible "What do you have? what do you want?" circle.
  I also went through the medicine cabinet, and threw out a bunch of old
  stuff, and re-organized the rest, when I actually found out what it 
was,
  after sticking on some braille labels.
  Tracy
