The absolutely most painless way to get into using a talking computer!
Based on a Canon L I D E 100 scanner, this accepts source material up to A4 size, upside down, at right angles ("two pages to view"), skewed by up to 10 degrees, multiple columns including newsprint.
Multiple pages can be scanned at one time. Scanned results may (only if required) be saved on the system by name, and retrieved and extended at a later time. All scans are automatically saved in a 100-deep "recall list" which may be browsed without needing to give the scans invidual names.
Time to scan, recognize and present a document on the screen is: 60 - 80 seconds (first page), 20 - 30 seconds (each subsequent page).
Results may be read using speech and large text, with controllable speed, size and colour.
Four levels of expertise.
