OOOh! You got me on both of those things, Josh. I think you need someone
from PDI to answer that one.

I have Kurzweil version 8 on my computer, and I don't like it much. It
really messes up the formatting of documents. So I switched to the
finereader7 stand-alone and use that with jaws. I now only use the kurzweil
for reading because it works with the atnt natural voices. Does the scan-ar
retain the formatting of documents nicely? How does it handle pictures
embedded on the same page with text?

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.

Dear List,
I've ask VR for a ScanaR.
I could really use some testimonials from all of you who are using this
machine?
What are you doing now that you could not do before using the ScanaR?
Has it made your job easyer?
Are you more productive?
What about an over all recommendation?
I work at an ART CENTER where we work with children with disAbilities.
I
teach music.
We have classes in Music Dance, Drama, Art and Ceramics.
There is a lot of material out there that is not on tape, in BRAILLE or
online.
I would like to read articles, lesson plans, letters from families and
scripts.
I need to make a very strong case.
Thanks for any help.
Frank M. Hernandez.
Tucson, Arizona.
