Hi Kellie, What Mary Ellen is talking about is the ScannaR, which is a stand-alone scan-and-read flat-bed scanner made by Pulse Data that has its own OCR software and hard drive built in, meaning you don't have to connect it to a PC, and it can also transfer files directly to a BrailleNote/VoiceNote through its internal ActiveSync program. Anyway, it's like Kurzweil or OpenBook, but there's no need for a computer, and the software's built right into a scanner. Please correct me, anyone from PDI, if I'm wrong on this, but I don't believe there's a ScannaR mailing list. I'm thinking about getting one sometime soon, so I looked into that as well, but I didn't find anything. However, if there is one, I too would love to have the email address needed to subscribe to that List, as I would find it very helpful in that it would give me an idea of how the system actually works before I got one. Anyway, hope I interpreted what you were talking about correctly, Mary Ellen, and I hope this helps. Oh, and Kellie, don't worry about not knowing what the ScannaR is; when I sent a question out to this List about it about a month ago, some people thought I was referring to a general scanner or some type of software such as Kurzweil or OpenBook that you mentioned. Sorry if this isn't too BN-RELATED, but I just wanted to reply to try to clear up what was being talked about, if I did indeed get it right, and to try and offer the answer to this question that I've found to be true so far. HTH. Maria
