Yes and No!
I have not had much luck with books but most of my books are cookbooks but I
would imagine with novels it would be great. The OCR in this machine is
extremely good.
I would say probably some of the best in the business.

Frank!
The ScanAr is an A++++++++++ all the way down the line. It is self
contained, therefore no drivers to go into the computer, no cables to
plug
in except the one going into the electrical socket. The large hard drive
allows storage of loads of documents. I have had mine a year and a half
now
and have my bills in it from June, 2003. I can look up records at the
touch
of a button. An example? I had to get the telephone number of my
Insurance
agent on Tuesday, so rather than search in Dirrectory Assistance, I
simply
looked up my renewel cirtificate for 2004 in the ScanAr and voila! There
was
his phone number. Not many menus to go through.
If you know how to operate a cassette recorder you know how to operate
the
ScanAr.
I don't talk much about it because it just is always there always ready
to
read 24/7 and no excuses of "I'm too tired! or "Not tonight." Also there
is
no snow ice or hurricanes to stop my wonderful readers of Mike Reed Jenny
and the whole gang of them.
And ... Oh yes! If you ever want to read something in Braille? Well plug
your serial cable into ScanAr and into your Braille Note and ScanAr will
ask
you when you save that document if you wouldn't like to save to Braille
Note. Tell it yes and you're good to go.
