Hi, Thought I post this both on Viphone and the Jaws list as I just heard about this special offer from the CSUN convention. The KNFB Reader app for Windows 10 can be had for an introductory price of $20 US or, here in Canada, for $23.19 + taxes. Apparently this offer is only good for today and tomorrow (March 3 and 4), after that the regular price will be $99 US just as KNFB Reader for iOS. I am not sure how often I am going to use this on my Windows 10 laptop, but for that price this is a no-brainer for me and I grabbed it. This was the first time I bought something from the Windows Store. I actually went to it from a link on the KNFB Reader website so when the store opened it was already in the right place. The Jaws touch cursor came on automatically and I could easily arrow through the information and activate the buy button and confirm the purchase. I wasn’t sure if I had to enter credit card information, but apparently I have my Visa on file with them because it simply downloaded and installed and a minute or so later I received an email receipt from Microsoft which showed that it had been charged to my Visa. I just opened it to look at the interface and it’s super simple, just a few buttons you can tab through, like Take Picture, a combo box to select your camera and a menu button. It showed the built-in webcam of my laptop since I have nothing else connected, but I assume it would recognize a Pearl just fine and work with it.

If you have a laptop with a webcam or a stand-alone webcam or if you have a scanner it’s supposed to work as an oCR solution. Of course my luck, I just got around to upgrading to Kurzweil1000 14 last month. Anyway, for those who have downloaded it, can they comment on accuracy or if scans are comparable to K1000? Also, does this app work with Jaws unlike K1000 where you have to switch between programs and keyboard commands? If it takes away the step of switching between programs and keyboard commands, I may still be interested. It’s on sale for $20.00 for the next couple of days. Whereas the regular price seems to be $100.00 like the iOS app _._,_._,_ ________________________________ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
