I don’t think that lighting is as important as it used to be, especially if you
use the KNFB reader, because it can make use of the lighting associated with
the iphone camera.

Hi Richard.
I look forward to this.
I hope the Fopydo will be possible to ship for Denmark.
I would really be interested in a device which works for bookscanning, at that
point standscan is a little difficult, I am not able to get alle the text on a
page, I know newer phones can easily mannage, but standscan can not.
Isn’t it a problem that these devices do not have light built in?
I use an IPhone 6 plus.
Best regards Annie.

There are two stands that I would recommend over the Giraffe Reader and
Standscan at this point.
Scanjig, $40.00 plus shipping, which is made out of hard plastic and is quite
sturdy, but may be a little bulky for those who want to take it on the go. It
measures about 9 by 13, by 1.5 inches when closed up.
Then, in a week or so, the latest version of the Fopydo stand will be
available through Amazon. The one currently on there is an old version, but the
creator has come up with a much improved model. It will sell for $12.00 plus
shipping.
It is made from the same kind of corrugated plastic as the Giraffe Reader,
but far more versatile because it will work with any size phone and even small
tablets. Once it is out, he will have a video and written instructions to help
a blind person assemble it themselves. It is in one piece, so assembly isn't
really accurate, more how to unfold it and snap the tab in place that creates
the platform for your phone.
It will allow raising the height to be able to scan longer documents or both
pages of a book. He is also working on an accessory to help with scanning books.
I will post the direct link to Amazon when it is available. I have both the
Scanjig and Fopydo stands in my office and think they are both excellent
choices, depending on what your scanning needs are.
HTH,
Richard

I know about the standscan and giraffe stands. I’d appreciate posts from
those of you who have tried these stands or others and your conclusions about
how they work. I would also appreciate pointers to any articles/info about
stands. Thanks.
