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. ================================================= My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <[email protected]> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..
