I don’t see anything in this thread that says the NFB was charging for shipping. There’s a statement on how the post office wasn’t giving permission for this stand to be shipped as free matter and then there’s a statement that the NFB was considering carrying this stand as part of their Independence Market.
I’m always weary of broad unsubstantiated statements like this that seem more like someone has a bone to pick then actually conveying useful and accurate information. Even if the NFB were able to ship these stands as free matter, it wouldn’t be fair for them to pass on the cost of the postal shipping charges to the customer, but it could still involve staff spending time and resources shipping these stands out. I wouldn’t have a problem paying an appropriate amount of money for this service. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Gmail From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2020 8:54 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Scanning solution It's appropriate to charge for shipping if you are paying to have it shipped.

I do not know of any scanners that work with iPhones, beyond what you can do with the iPhone camera itself. For A4 documents, I'm assuming these are text documents, I think Voice Dream Scanner is the best solution: You may also want a scanning stand so you don't have to hold the phone about 12 inches above the document if you are doing a ton of these. Is the plan for the photos to just digitize them? If so, just use the Camera and have someone sighted crop them so just your photo is left. With photos, you want to follow the same distance ratio as with documents, and have the phone about as far above the photo as the photo is tall. That could get tricky which is why you will need sighted assistance to crop the picture later.

Wireless would be nice but not if expensive. The main project is a load of photos my wife has but doesn’t have the time to scan them herself. Therefore it is my job to do the tedious task and it would be nice to have simple software that could detect the edges of the photos automatically and prefereably be voice over accessible.
