The n95 wont work since it does not have the zenon flash. Also, camera recognition is still in it's infancy. You need to do all kinds of things to avoid glare etc. Also, scanning facing pages is very difficult with such a setup.

Although they only say it works with N82, I think it should also work with N95. I have yet not tried this software, and I am not sure about it's price, but it's approximate price is 1500 dollars. ---- knfb Reading Technology, Inc. is pleased to announce the latest breakthrough in print accessibility.
