Re: [Blind-Computing] Reading handwriting
I would agree! Don't know if there will be as this is why Serotech did not bring the docuscan to the iPhone as they said Apple does not give you enough control of the camera to make OCR work correctly. That is why they said they would wait till Apple let people get enough control of the camera . But this has not happen. Now this being said if you are low vision then you will have much better results with these apps as you have some vision to help you line things.

[Blind-Computing] create another log on account
I now have a small problem. I have this computer set up with one account that is also the administrator with no passwords. My grandson’s computer is down and he wants to download a few things from iTunes for his Ipod. Here is the problem,although we have separate accounts the items are downloaded into iTunes. Talking to a support guy at apple he told me that when I plug in my iPhone his music and apps will be loaded into my iPhone and when he plugs in his iPod my apps and such will be loaded into his device. He suggested that I create an account just for him with a copy of iTunes. Now how would I start that process and move his games etc. into his account. I would like to move a copy of office 2010, and ie as well. Then I would like my backup software to capture both accounts. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor. There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind. http://www.LennyMcHugh.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
