[Reader-users] the phone and knfb reader

[David Evans]

Dear All,

Who said that the reader scans a page?  It digitally photographs the page 
and then processes it.
The inage is still held in the memoery and not lost.
You can stop the reading of a document and take your call and then come 
right back to where you were.
Don't make it complicated.  It works very  well.
