Re: The $80 personal reader

I suggest a similar system to Apple two years ago before tiger came out 
but it never materialized. Hopefully your idea will get better notice.  
I use omnipage pro or readiris. They can be set up to automatically go 
to a scanner and scan the text, OCR the text then place the  text into 
the apple clipboard or into an application. In my case I have a simple 
apple script that places the clipboard into text edit and I use Voice 
Over to read.  Using the professional OCR's allows you to place anything 
in any orientation and it rights it and reads it and does single or 
multiple columns.   Vickie Weir
