I have not had much success getting accurate info off bank cards with any 
scanning software.  I think the fonts are just not clear enough to be trusted.

Perhaps others have a different experience.

Subject: Voicedream scanner and small formats

 

Hello list,

please, do you know any tips and tricks to scan smal format documents like 
debit card with voice Dream scanner?

As far as I know, Voice Dream doesn't need internet connection to scan 
documents.

I mean when I get a new debit card, I would like to be able read Card number 
without sighted help if possible.

My bank doesn't provide debit card number info in Braille. I know some banks in 
some countries 

do that.

I have a few other cards (e.g. bus pass and I sometime need its number for 
online registration.

I know I can ask someone sighted to read it for me, but there are situations 
when no one is around.

For now, I have card and ID numbers saved in my notes and I learnt them, but 
I'm just curious.

I will not use Be my eyes or Seeing AI as they are online services, so I don't 
feel safe to give them my credentials.

I tried to scan my bus pass card, I could rea some info, but not the number, it 
said "card number", but there were different signs and symbols.

Thanks for help.

Maria
