[Reader-users] Does The Scanning And Recognition In The New Reader Take Place Completely Within The Unit?

I believe I know the answer, but don't want to give out mis-information.

On a chat the other day someone said he had heard that the image was sent 
from the new Reader to a server where it was scanned, recognized, and 
results returned to the reader.  He questioned how this might be done in an 
environment where there might be difficulty getting a signal from the point 
of origin to the server location and back again.  He later heard that 
scanning and recognition take place within the unit itself.

I believe I understand that the modified phone is entirely responsible for 
capturing and interpreting the image, but since there is obviously incorrect 
information being disseminated, whichever scenario is correct, I told the 
person I would double-check and let him know.  This discussion took place 
informally, but we all know this is how rumors get started.

Please let me know so I can tell the world!  <lol>  As I write this I'm 
remembering there's a recording of Mr. Gashel's presentation.  I suppose I 
can send that to the person.  Would someone please send the link, as I am 
not sure whether I saved it; and others may have missed it as well.

Thanks in advance.

Pam
