Hi Linda; At the 05 NFB convention they showed a hand held model of the curswile reading machine. As of then it was not on the market. I was sick at convention and do not remember much about it. Maybe someone can give us the site for them. They might have some imfo up about the unit. Good luck. Terry Powers

This stands alone. What is the hand held scan'r you mentioned.
