Re: Giraffe Reader
Hello Leo, Here’s the e-mail address for Sam Jewell: sam.jew...@gmail.com The Giraffe Reader is not as good as the StandScan Pro as it doesn’t have its own lighting. However, it can be used in situations where the StandScan would not be feasible, such as in a restaurant to read the menu. The Giraffe Reader is much smaller to carry, takes up less space when erected and only weighs 70 g. The Giraffe Reader could be very helpful to anyone who has trouble positioning the iPhone to take pictures of text. I have both the StandScan Pro and the Giraffe Reader and consider them complementary.

Re: Giraffe Reader
Hi Sarah, Last week Eleanor posted: If you are looking for an OCR solution at a reasonable price, Sam Jewell has designed a stand to get exact distance from camera to the print page. Have a look at Sam's video here. I put his contact detais below the link for anyone interested. https://vimeo.com/88239540 Sam'e e-mail address is below, also his telephone number sam.jew...@gmail.com +44 (0) 7932 761772 This is a light-weight portable stand (cardboard reinforced with a plastic coating?) for OCR with an iPhone. Unlike the StandScan Pro, there is no lighting source, but it sounds as though it would fold down more for easy carrying. Anne asked about pricing information, and I found his Twitter page in which he said $45. Anne ordered in Euros, shipped to France, and said she would report back. They have a web sign-up page for more information, but they're not really set up to do more than take email addresses: http://giraffereader.launchrock.com/ HTH.

Re: Giraffe Reader
Thank you for this Esther. - Original Message - From: Esther mori...@mac-access.net To: OS X iOS Accessibility mac-access@mac-access.net Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 6:45 PM Subject: Re: Giraffe Reader Hi Sarah, Last week Eleanor posted: If you are looking for an OCR solution at a reasonable price, Sam Jewell has designed a stand to get exact distance from camera to the print page. Have a look at Sam's video here. I put his contact detais below the link for anyone interested. https://vimeo.com/88239540 Sam'e e-mail address is below, also his telephone number sam.jew...@gmail.com +44 (0) 7932 761772 This is a light-weight portable stand (cardboard reinforced with a plastic coating?) for OCR with an iPhone. Unlike the StandScan Pro, there is no lighting source, but it sounds as though it would fold down more for easy carrying. Anne asked about pricing information, and I found his Twitter page in which he said $45. Anne ordered in Euros, shipped to France, and said she would report back. They have a web sign-up page for more information, but they're not really set up to do more than take email addresses: http://giraffereader.launchrock.com/ HTH.

Re: Giraffe Reader
Hello Sarah, Esther has described the Giraffe Reader very well. It is extremely light and measures 26 cm by 21 cm or about 10.5 in by 8.5 in. It isn’t as stable as the StandScan Pro but is even more portable. I can see myself using it in restaurants to read the menu, which would be rather difficult with the StandScan Pro. I now have both products and can see uses for both of them. One thing about the Giraffe Reader is that it was designed for blind users and therefore qualifies for free shipping. It takes longer to arrive (mine took 6 days from across the channel) but it means that you don’t have to add anything to the basic price. I’d recommend using the Giraffe Reader with Prizmo as you can take your hands away before the picture is taken, thereby avoiding the risk of shaking the iPhone. However, it works for me whether I use Prizmo or TextGrabber. Cheers, Anne On 13 Mar 2014, at 19:25, Sarah k Alawami marri...@gmail.com wrote: I'm a bit behind the times here.

Re: Giraffe Reader
Hi Anne. Are you using an IPhone 5 or a 5s. I am afraid that these two models needs different distances. I do not know if I am right or wrong. I am sure we need to think about light conditions. I think I will order one of these giraffe readers. I am doing a lot of experiments taking the pictures with my phone, and recognizing with finereader for the mac. Best regards Annie.

Cheers, Anne 2008, GP figures show. 1 his meanb 070 ui u. 850,000 more have diabetes without knowing it. Diabetes UK says the rise is largely fuelled by type 2 diabetes, linked to obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. The survey combined GP data from England^Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to calculate the overall figure of how many people in the UK are diagnosed with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes accounts for about a tenth of cases and occurs when the insulin-producing cells in the body have been destroyed. Type 2 diabetes develops when the insutin-producing cells in the body are unable to produce enough insulin, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly. Insulin enables the body to use sugar as energy and store any excess in the liver and muscle. If this fails, blood sugar rises and this can cause long-term complications, such as kidney damage. The NHS spends 10% of its budget on diabetes and 80% of this goes on treating consequences such as amputation, kidney failure, heart disease and stroke. TEXT 2: HiRh Blood Pressure What Causes High Blood Pressure? The exact causes of high blood pressure are not known, but several factors and conditions may play a role in its development, including: Smoking Being overweight or obese Lack of physical activity Too much salt in the diet Too much alcohol consumption (more than 1 to 2 drinks per day) Stress Older age Genetics Family history of high blood pressure Chronic kidney disease Adrenal and thyroid disorders If your blood pressure is extremely high, there may be certain symptoms to look out for, including: Severe headaches Fatigue or confusion Vision problems Chest pain Difficulty breathing Irregular heartbeat Blood in the urine Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears I ^ llfckfcfc^ Grabbed with TextGrabber --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.
