The best description I can think of is that it is like a wide diving board. The stand is about 9 inches wide. The phone sits on the platform with about an inch of it sticking out over the edge.
So, if you are in a room with half-way decent lighting, plenty of room light gets in since most of the page is exposed. If the only light source was directly behind the stand, it might cast a shadow, but I can’t think of any lighting situations that would be like that. Of course, you also have the flash on the phone to compensate if needed. I’ve not had any trouble at all with lighting. Here is a link to his instructions for setting it up. I don’t know if this will help. http://fopydo.com/scanningstandfortheblind HTH, Richard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 6:25 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A stand for the KNFB reader Richard, How does the Fopydo stand do with allowing enough light to get to the page since it doesn't use an external light source?

You can easily raise it up from the default about 10.5 inches above the page to 14 inches above the page for legal sized documents. The StandScan is not adjustable and is about 11.5 or 12 inches above the page. The ScanJig’s maximum distance is about 11 inches, but can be adjusted to be closer.

Since most offer optimal placement for the phone I'm fairly certain that which one is used will make very little difference because of the flexibility of the camera and the ability of the software to scan a somewhat larger area than what might be expected.

He is hoping to offer the attachment for around $10. So, between the $12 for the stand and $10 more for this nifty attachment, plus any shipping, you will have a very powerful scanning setup. I have seen the first two prototypes of the attachment and am excited about it coming to the market. I have no connection to the company. I just happened to get in touch with him early on in his development and got to put in my two cents worth. Stay tuned.

You can use a braille display instead of a bluetooth keyboard. I highly recommend the fopydo stand. It is rather cheap and easy to use. Best regards Annie.

I listened to the applevis podcast where they demonstrated using KNFB Reader 2.0 in stand mode and they used it with a bluetooth keyboard. It got me to thinking that it must be impossible or difficult to control the app since the iDevice will be face down. What do you think? I wasn’t really wanting to buy a stand and a keyboard. :) Thanks, Christina On Aug 20, 2015, at 10:39 AM, Jonathan Mosen <jmo...@mosen.org <mailto:jmo...@mosen.org> > wrote: Hi Don, I don't know if it's the best or not, but I bought a Fopydo, which is very reasonably priced, and am happy with it. I travelled with it recently and it was great for quickly dealing with things like the compendium in my hotel room.
