Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hello Kawal, SayText doesn't work for me with the StandScan Pro, but Prizmo and Perfect OCR both do. The StandScan keeps the phone at a fixed position which does not seem to suit SayText. In any case, I've never found SayText to be much good. Prizmo is definitely the best and fastest for me. PerFect OCR is pretty good, too, but takes much longer to do the OCR. I've never tried Text Detective which also has a good reputation.

Thank you very much Anne. I'm ordering mine today. I will also buy Prizmo then. It's going to be great being able to scan anything I get either on the move or not! Kawal.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi, I have only tried the StandScan with Prizmo and SayText. Prizmo is fine with it, but SayText doesn't work with it at all, as far as I can tell. This is because Prizmo is designed to take the shot at any height and work with the image, whereas, SayText needs to take tyhe shot from a greater distance in order to see the edges of the paper. The stand is not high enough for SayText to see the edges of a piece of A4, I suppose it might work with something smaller, but there would still be an issue re contrast because the StandScan is white, so no contrast with a sheet of paper.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hello Sieghard Thanks for the info. I emailed the standscan people and they also are not quite sure but we decided they will include the europe adapter.

However, I just did a Google search for What power plugs are used in South Africa and I found the following website: http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through type N) which are used around the world. According to this, Type M is most widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some adapters. I once bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo and it came with about 6 different adapters. It is completely incomprehensible to me why there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an easy thing to change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done over time.

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi Annie, It does specifically mention Compatible with iPhone 5 on their website. Anyhow, this will work with any iPhone or mobile phone with a rear facing camera since all it really is is a fold-out open box where you lay your phone on the top so the camera lens is pointing straight down through a hole. The hole is situated so that anything you put underneath is perfectly lined up. I don't have my Standscan yet, but I believe Sandy mentioned that she had her husband glue something on the box which gave her an edge to put the phone up against just so she wouldn't have to make sure the lens was really pointing through the hole every time.

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi Sieghard, I've travelled quite a bit in countries that use 220-240 volts because of my competitions and, even though my shaver told me it was safe on both, in two occasions, after coming back from these countries, the battery in my shaver was damaged to the point that it would only hold a charge for about 15 minutes.The first time, I thought it was just a coincidence so I didn't pay attention but the second time, the battery was not even a year old. Now that I have a shaver with a Lithium-Ion battery, I suspect everything would be OK but, I still have trouble trusting the devices that switch over automatically. I have a travelling iron that you switch over manually with a switch and I have had no damage on that. Of course, it doesn't have a battery. I will still continue to bring my converter. The last time, I used it for my Victor Stream and everything was perfect. With the StandScan, I would still check with the distributer to make sure the converter does both. Its just a question of sending an e-mail.

As for your experience, Ron, I am not sure how long ago this was and how old your devices are, but I have never had a shaver in the last 10 years where I couldn't use the charger anywhere in the world (with the appropriate adapter, of course), but no converter was necessary.

I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely sure. A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere. My adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else. If you need a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the converter for electronics such as a computer. A simple converter for something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi to all you would be scanners! The stanndscann pro comes with a plug transformer and this works for both the uk and the us, so I imagine it will be fine for most, if not all, countries. The transformer plug has two round pins and so you may need to use an adaptor to suit your country's setup. Hth sandy.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hello Sandy, My StandScan Pro came with the battery holder as part of the StandScan. It wasn't an add on. I agree that the lighting must be better with the 12 V mains connected. Cheers, Anne On 8 Mar 2013, at 12:04, Sandratomkins sandratomk...@googlemail.com wrote: Bonjour Anne, I see you got the StandScan pro! I have it too and think it very good. I would just like to add one comment to your findings: it would appear, from your two nearly excellent scans, that there is little to choose between the 9 volt and 12 volt options, however, this is only true when there is reasonable ambient lighting. Something I have been looking for, and think to have found with the StandScan Pro, is a way of making sure that: 1. The phone is always in the perfect position and 2. that the lighting within the box is perfect regardless of other conditions. I have found that 12 volts of power is necessary to obtain perfect/near perfect results even in complete darkness! When the ambient light is good enough, one doesn't even need to use the LED lights included in the StandScan box, but, especially, for those of us who have no light perception, and are unable to avoid creating shadows etc, the StandScan plus 12 volts of light, is capable of fulfilling these 2 requirements. By the way, did you buy the 12 volt battery holder, by any chance? I thought I did, but it seems I didn't. If I can find it on their website, I will try and order it, because I don't always want to rely upon a mains connection. Also, for those who are interested in these more abstruse points, your scans were double page scans taken from a book, something to be aimed for, but in general, single page scans are, as in the case of a letter in the post, the most important challenge re access and independence. So, just an observation from here: the other day a friend came round, all het up, with a letter from a solicitor. My friend read it to me and wanted my reaction to it. He was distressed and kept reading me the text, all in a rush, interjecting expletives in lieu of commas! In the end I said I'll just make a copy of this and read it again when I can concentrate properly. I did this using the StandScan Pro, I got a perfect scan and was able to find the word or in a significant sentence which made all the difference! So, an example of the need to have absolutely perfect scans sometimes. I am certainly glad to have this scanning aid and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their free-hand scanning skills. I think it will work both for those of us who have developed a facility with the various scanning apps and those who have had absolutely no success at all! But I would definitely recommend the use of 12 volts for relyable results in all situations! Onwards and upwards!

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hello Anne and list I want to order the StandScan pro but I am also considering to buy the AC adapter. My problem is that they give three pin configurations, for US, UK and europe. If I remember correctly the US has two flat pins but I am not sure of the UK and Europe. Here in South Africa we use adapters with two round pins. Which of the UK or Europe adapters will work?

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi Fanus, You are correct, North America has 2 flat prongs and from how you describe it your 2-round prong configuration sounds just like what I am used to from growing up in Germany. However, I just did a Google search for What power plugs are used in South Africa and I found the following website: http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through type N) which are used around the world. According to this, Type M is most widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some adapters. I once bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo and it came with about 6 different adapters. It is completely incomprehensible to me why there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an easy thing to change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done over time.

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi Fanus, I have been to South Africa but I can't remember which adaptor I used. Of course, you will need a converter as well as the adaptor because, in North America we use 110-120 volts at 60 cycles and South Africa is 220 volts at, I believe, 50 cycles. Before leaving here, I purchased a 220 to 110 volt converter and it came with 4 or 5 adaptors. One of them definitely fits. I believe its 3 prong. I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely sure. A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere. My adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else. If you need a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the converter for electronics such as a computer. A simple converter for something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi Fanus and Ron, I think you should either inquire from the Standscan people or simply wait until you get it, but if they are selling this thing worldwide I somehow can't see that they don't at least make sure the adapter can handle both 110/120 and 220/240 Volts. As for your experience, Ron, I am not sure how long ago this was and how old your devices are, but I have never had a shaver in the last 10 years where I couldn't use the charger anywhere in the world (with the appropriate adapter, of course), but no converter was necessary. The same goes for the USB wall charger of the iPhone and pretty much all laptop chargers, they nowadays all can handle both 110 at 60 Hertz and 220 at 50 Hertz.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Bonjour Anne, I see you got the StandScan pro! I have it too and think it very good. I would just like to add one comment to your findings: it would appear, from your two nearly excellent scans, that there is little to choose between the 9 volt and 12 volt options, however, this is only true when there is reasonable ambient lighting. Something I have been looking for, and think to have found with the StandScan Pro, is a way of making sure that: 1. The phone is always in the perfect position and 2. that the lighting within the box is perfect regardless of other conditions. I have found that 12 volts of power is necessary to obtain perfect/near perfect results even in complete darkness! When the ambient light is good enough, one doesn't even need to use the LED lights included in the StandScan box, but, especially, for those of us who have no light perception, and are unable to avoid creating shadows etc, the StandScan plus 12 volts of light, is capable of fulfilling these 2 requirements. By the way, did you buy the 12 volt battery holder, by any chance? I thought I did, but it seems I didn't.

In the end I said I'll just make a copy of this and read it again when I can concentrate properly. I did this using the StandScan Pro, I got a perfect scan and was able to find the word or in a significant sentence which made all the difference! So, an example of the need to have absolutely perfect scans sometimes. I am certainly glad to have this scanning aid and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their free-hand scanning skills. I think it will work both for those of us who have developed a facility with the various scanning apps and those who have had absolutely no success at all! But I would definitely recommend the use of 12 volts for relyable results in all situations! Onwards and upwards! Sandy.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Hi, Can you provide a link or information on where I can purchase this device? Thanks in advance. Julian On 3/8/13, Sandratomkins sandratomk...@googlemail.com wrote: Bonjour Anne, I see you got the StandScan pro! I have it too and think it very good. I would just like to add one comment to your findings: it would appear, from your two nearly excellent scans, that there is little to choose between the 9 volt and 12 volt options, however, this is only true when there is reasonable ambient lighting. Something I have been looking for, and think to have found with the StandScan Pro, is a way of making sure that: 1. The phone is always in the perfect position and 2. that the lighting within the box is perfect regardless of other conditions. I have found that 12 volts of power is necessary to obtain perfect/near perfect results even in complete darkness! When the ambient light is good enough, one doesn't even need to use the LED lights included in the StandScan box, but, especially, for those of us who have no light perception, and are unable to avoid creating shadows etc, the StandScan plus 12 volts of light, is capable of fulfilling these 2 requirements. By the way, did you buy the 12 volt battery holder, by any chance? I thought I did, but it seems I didn't. If I can find it on their website, I will try and order it, because I don't always want to rely upon a mains connection. Also, for those who are interested in these more abstruse points, your scans were double page scans taken from a book, something to be aimed for, but in general, single page scans are, as in the case of a letter in the post, the most important challenge re access and independence.

But this argument over the mechanism of weight loss is an acaderoic straw.man, In study after study, over the first 3-6 months, people r~a ClinicaIUse°fCarb°hydrateRestricti°n: VeryL°wCal°rieandLowCarbohydrateDiets donaized to a low carb diet eaten to satiety lose more Weight and more body fat than those assigned to a low fat, calorie restricted diet. A credible mechanism to explain this is not hard to find - carbohydrates in our diet may offer a short-term sense of increased energy, but they offer little in the way of functional satiety. ~e best example of this effect was reported by Dr. Guenther Boden[45] in an inpatient study of obese type-2 diabetics. After a week of eating a balanced diet to satiety, the subjects were given a low carbohydrate diet consisting of most of the same foods, with the exception that they were asked to limit their total daily carbohydrate intake to 20 grams. Over the next two weeks, their spontaneous nutrient intakes were carefully measured. Interestingly, the subject's average daily energy intake dropped from 3100 to 2100 Calories, and this was all due to the 'missing' carbs. Despite having the choice to eat more, the protein and fat intakes of these subjects remained relatively constant. And despite this 1000 Calorie per day deficit, their reported hunger, satisfaction, and energy levels did not change appreciably. What did change was their diabetes control - dramatically for the better. For more on this topic, see Chapter 15. But this study was just 2 weeks long. What happens in the longer term? Well, the process of full metabolic adaptation to a low carbohydrate diet takes up to 6 weeks, so for the first few months, we would expect wellbeing and function to get better. But after many months and a major degree of weight loss, it is a normal response of the human body to try to limit its losses. This is typically achieved by eating more, but what? If dietary carbohydrate intolerance led to the choice of a low carbohydrate diet at the outset, why lift that restriction? In particular, why add back calories that promote fat storage but do not provide functional satiety? Accepting that protein is good for us only in moderation, the answer is fat (see Chapters 2 and 16). How much fat should you add as you approach Weight
