I agree. In fact, returning to university to pursue my doctorate has been much simpler in so many ways because I can access many of the electronic databases. In fact, I regularly do so using my iPhone. How amazing is that? I can even create portions of my papers in pages and then move them to

Cheryl, I am right there with you. For my undergrad degree I used nothing but cassette tapes and live readers. I was always at the mercy of the schedule of whatever reader I had hired. I love that I can go on the Bookshare website and browse books just like if I was at the bookstore. Although I

Hi, everyone. I recently bought an ipod touch fifth generation, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an app that can be used to scan books? I don't need anything fancy, just enough to scan the book, OCR it, then save the results as a text file. Does such an app even exist?

None of the ocr apps for ios give reliable consistent results that would enable one to scan a book IMHO. I don't have a 5th gen Touch. I do have a 4S, and there is no way I'd even consider scanning even a short book with what's out there right now. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You

A few things are good enough for a simple scan and read. perfect OCR, text detective, prismo. Scanning a book is still the purview of the desktop computer though where camera solutions such as the hover cam t5v, eye pal, and pearl are excellent. Best, Erik Burggraaf Introducing Ebony

There is a VueScan app that will pilot a wireless scanner, then Prizmo can be used for the OCR. I haven't tried this as I haven't got such a scanner. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group. To search the VIPhone public archive, visit

Sigh, kind of annoying, that. I mean, I've kind of always wanted to be able to have something I can just stick in my pocket and take wherever, the bookstore, library, that kind of thing. It kind of sucks how sighted people can just pick up a book wherever they want and read, while we're stuck

You can download books from Bookshare on your IOS device and read wherever you go. That doesn't even involve scanning it. I have never done this but if you scanned in a book using one of the programs for people who are visually impaired and saved it as a DAISY could you read it if you had a

Kobo is the best thing that's happened to me for reading books. I buy several books per week and the prices are very reasonable. The choice is almost as good as for the Kindle. Cheers, Anne On 8 Nov 2012, at 05:51, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: I do know what you mean, but
