Well, you are over simplifying, but not by all that much. One would have to have a bar code scanner that had drivers that would function under Windows CE. Then, you have to design software that can read the results of a scan, and allow one to add new items to the UPC database. Support of this kind should not be built in to the unit, but it should be optional. In other words, there are many Braillenote users that might not find a bar code scanner necessary, but for those who do, it should be an option they can purchase.

All you'd need is a bar code scanner and a storage card with a database of products and a user enterface. Maybe I'm over simplifying it, but would it really take a lot to add bar code reader functionality? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Wolfe Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 7:35 PM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: [Braillenote] Vote for scanner support On behalf of Peter, I would like the future products of the Braille note family to have scanner functionality. The print can be transferred into the Braille note through a external scanner preferably a scanner that is portable. The print can be transferred with little or not errors. What do you guys think of this idea?
