Hi Amar, First of all, can I call you Amar Bhaiya? And, secondly, I believe that most of the assistive devices are also highly inaccurate, so it's better to purchase a device like an iPad for using the Apple applications which are made for reading printed material. The iPad also has many other good features. According to you, which option should I opt for?
