Bill, I'm a bit behind on my messages, but this is so exciting, when it comes to something as this, being able to do something that wasn't possible before, and I could hear how it made your day a bit better. This is so good to know that it can work so well, thank you.

First, I am glad my modem problems at home were resolved yesterday, so I can do email and surf the web at home whenever I want, and not have to gobble up data on my iPhone because of not being connected to Wi-Fi. Before that happened, I had a success with Seeing AI in the handwriting channel that was very fulfilling. I was doing laundry and found a paper taped to the top of one of the dryers at my apartment complex. I first tried the K-NFB Reader, a good program that I have enjoyed having available to me for several years in its various forms on different platforms. It found no text, even reporting the page was upside down. Then I tried Microsoft Seeing AI which I was using live for the first time after having played around in the help documentation last weekend. I went to the handwriting channel, figuring that might do the trick as K-NFB had reported no text. I assumed, it turned out correctly, that the paper was oriented correctly when taped to the dryer. I took the picture and Seeing AI processed it very quickly. I discovered that someone had written that the dryer had taken their change and that it didn’t work. I only wish I had discovered this before putting coins in it myself, only to learn I had to move the load to another dryer. This blew me away a bit, finding I could do a task that has heretofore been impossible. I was so excited I forgot to start the washer with the next load and had to go back to do it. It was a few minutes later when I grabbed the mail early from the letter carrier and then the computer technician came to install the new modem. That was the second attempt, as Earthlink had sent me a bed one last week. It’s good that we have app choices so that if one doesn’t perform well in a given situation, we have others that might. This all made for a pretty good day for me. Bill Outman -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
