It simply appears to be just one more solution among many, and of
course, not everyone needs every solution that is offered. So why the fuss?

Again: amen! I know I'm not impressed! Sorry Gw micro, but Come on! Who
talked you all in to selling this thing! From what I hear, that's even
more than a Mack computer that has built in speach!

Subject: Re: the reading easy price
Just out of curosity:
I could get myself a netbook PC, costing about 400 dollars. A webcam for
another 10 or 20 dollars. The OCR - like Omnipage - for about the 150. I am
already the owner of Window-Eyes, hence the "human sounding readout", could
be cared for by Eloquence. With that equipment, I could do a ton of other
activities - like notetaking, internet surfing, music listening. Ok, with a
somehow bigger and more bulky pack of units - maybe. Still, no matter how I
turn that calculation, It will make me do a lot more, for less than half the
price.
So, here is my honesthearted question: What is the real benefit of 2500
dollars out the door? Wherein lays the benefits. What is it, that this unit
can offer, that the above solution could not? If all it gives me, is a
somehow smaller unit, I don't know, if that still could justify the price.
And, if I wanted to do it small, I could have used a cellphone, that I
already have, and got some OCR software for that one; couldn't I? So, once
again, in what way is it, that I would be benefitting at all, from digging
out 2500 dollars for yet another gadget in my luggage?
Any feedback welcome!

Ouch! That's a lot when you consider that you could have a computer
(multipurpose item) AND OC software and scanner for about the same price.
Oh, and isn't this stuff supposed to get cheaper with advances in
technology?--Matt.

Makes the Intel Reader at its sale price (which may even still be in effect)
of $895 look cheap. Or there's Docuscan Plus on a netbook with a Hovercam.
Not exactly an all in one solution, but the price is a bit better. Or of
course, KNFB Reader. Understanding that Intel and KNFB are neither one
freestanding, although one can get a stand for the Intel Reader and it's
still cheaper.
