Good Monday to you, one and all

As you may remember me saying last week, I have an ElBraille now on order. I’m 
expecting it some time next week, as the UK dealer is not carrying stocks of 
this item for some reason.

Anyway, in advance of the device arriving, I have broken my tradition of not 
bothering with user manuals, and have spent some time reading the docs.

It struck me the other day when I was thinking about the KNFB reader for 
Windows 10, what a great companion that would be for the ElBraille. I’m 
probably going to buy that one product, although I am curtailing most of my 
purchasing activities on line as of now in order to save funds. My bathroom is 
about to be gutted, and turned into a “Wet Room”, costing me a walking four 
grand in the process.

But, I digress. It struck me, as I say, when reading the specs of the 
ElBraille, that there is no in-built camera of any sort. This seems like a real 
omission, given that the use and availability of OCR products is now widespread 
and, of course, a blind person would most likely require that functionality.

Windows 10 is installed on the machine, of course. So to me, it would make 
perfect sense for them to have included an internal camera for this purpose. 
Also, utilities such as Skype could have taken advantage of this as well. That 
really would have made the ElBraille a very attractive portable solution for 
the masses.

As it stands, however, I have no regrets. I am still looking forward to having 
my Focus 14 Blue integrated into a portable, versatile and powerful system.

More when I receive the device.
