Using a WiFi connection speeds up the recognition process considerably. But
I admit, that requiring some sort of connection to the internet would be a
big limitation indeed. That's one of the reasons I don't like WayFinder
Access as well.

Hello friends,
Today I tried the text scout mobile reader which has been newly launched as
a competitor to KNFB reader.
I tried this on my nokia n82 phone.
I took pictures of pages of a book, and found that the recognition was
good.
The software reads the recognized text quite well.
We can also use mobile speak or talks for reading the text.
A totally blind person has the option of turning off the display for saving
battery power.
This software is compatible with nokia 6220 classic, n79, n82, n85, n95,
n95 8gb.
Text scout uses the internet for sending the image for recognition, to the
server.
I found that this process took time.
If we have to use the software, a high speed internet connection will be
required
It has been mentioned that the software transmits 30 to 50 mb data per
month.
This can be expensive as well.
Personally, I do not like the idea of using the internet for processing of
image because of the time taken to process it.
I shall further write my experiences with the product as I use it.
Note that these are my personal views.
Others may have other views.
I request others to correct me if I am wrong anyware.
Thanking you all.
Warm regards.
Dinesh thole.
