Guess, this product is a great one. At least, if you happened to be born and
reside the right side of the border. Smile.
Unfortunately, we too often see things like this. A great product, offering
a solution to ever so many. And, then? the price! I don't know, but by the
time a user has added on one or two of those extras, what is he left with
for a price? At least to me, I wonder how many a document, or screenshot or
whatever, would I need to have read aloud to me; before I could rectify
paying that much money. Wonder, how many people would have agreed to go to
their optician, and be told they have to spend 2500 dollars on their reading
glasses. Another question, that came up in my mind, as I was reading this -
is how big the unit is. Or, how heavy. Wea are already loaded with a ton of
electronic gadgets - cell phones, gps, notetakers, daisy players, and who
knows what else - that we "Just Need Carry Around", only to make us perform
the smallest task in our daily life.
Sure, this is a great thing, that product. For those who can afford the
price and the extra unit (or units, with whatever additionals they buy). But
for the plain, normal people?
At the end of it all, exactly what can it read? Will it only read a normal
page, or could you actually read a book (where the page often would bend
slightly toward the middle of the volume - a scenario that has caused quite
challenging situations for many an user of OCR and scanners). Can you have
it read the text on a pack of grocery, like on your cereal pack? How easy is
it to use for 'everyone'? I.e, will you need some kind of training in
focusing the object to be read. The message you Aaron posted, did give
little and no answers to most of these questions; although, they would be
quite relevant for anyone who would be considering buying that new unit.
Give us some everyday examples, where this actually would be worth that
amount of money, and if it is not already there, let's have an audio example
of how human sounding it is.
