hi Jaison Bellarmine,
if KNFB reader can process the images from a 2 Mega pixel mobile camera, why
can't Kurzweil recognise the images taken from a 12 Mega pixel digital
camera?

hai friend, I do understand your need. But as per my knowledge the
portable device is knfb reader which could be used on a mobile. The
scanning machine which you mentioned may be the one by freedom scientific.
It has a normal size of a scanner and a hard disc. It can only scan and
reproduce the same in voice as JAWS does. A few weeks back there was a
news about intel. They are about to market portable machines which takes
photos and convert them into text. But we have to wait for it. The best
available option at present is the apple IPhones which reads text in a
cleare voice. But I am not sure whether it can scan and store them. Any
way it is very good to read a book.
With regards
Jaison Bellarmine.
Friends,
by digital camera I meant the camera with still images (Photos). As per my
knowledge, all the digital cameras with video recording facility have the
option to take still images. In fact I am experimenting a little bit
about
it. your knowledge and experience will add to it greatly.
some of the fellow members mentioned the products like KNFB reader and
others. As the information I got from Ram Agarwal, KNFB reader is no
longer
available as a stand alone device and it is a software. moreover, I hope
no
one will object if I say that those products are expensive to middle class
people. Most of us have Kurzweil, a good user-friendly software. all that
one needs is a device that feeds it with compatible images of printed
pages.
We can get a good quality camera for 15000 - 20000 Rs. and it will be
economic when compared to one with 70000 Rs. As you know, Kurzweil does
not
take long time to recognize images. much of the time is consumed in
scanning
and it requires lot of patience to hold the books firmly on the scanner
bed,
that too, large books like those with 1000 to 1500 pages. in addition to
that, some persons require that the binding of the books borrowed from
them
are not damaged.
I don't know about Umax and portable scanner with Karishma. how much time
they take to scan a full A4 page? do they do it in 1 or 2 seconds?
I request all the members to contribute their knowledge on the matter.

Hi recently I saw that karishma enterprises are having potable scanner
with them which is very useful and it takes images like a camera. Its
very good for recognition of voluminous books. But the cost of that
scanner is above 70,000 Rs.

Friends you did not understand my real question. that's why I changed
the
subject line.
I am also using HP scanner from past 6 years. but it takes about 45 to
50
seconds to scan a page using them whereas we capture an image in a
digital
camera within a second. so if we can use thus obtained images of pages
of
our books, I hope that we can greatly save time. presently I have to
scan
about 10000 pages of my printed books which requires me more than 100
hours
of continuous heavy labour. so friends, I want to know your opinions,
ideas
and experiences about the possibility of getting the page images for
kurzweil from digital cameras like sony handycams. please contribute
your
knowledgeable replies and help my purpose.
Yours
Umesha

I use Umex 4100, and it has been working for me for the last six-seven
years. So, it means everyone talks about the brand of the scanner that
he
or she has. There is noone who says that a particular brand is not good.
So, to conclude, all the brands available in the market are good. No
company can afford to put a weak model in the market.

I think you should go to HP scanners, which are fast, acuret, and
durable, I am using the same.
