We have fought for the freedom to be able to read our own menus, and I can easily skim my fingers down my braile display advancing very quickly to where I want whereas sighted people often tell me the things they think look good, and allaccess is great, but sometimes, the restaurants don't have the correct menu listed.

I don't have KNFB reader yet, but I sure can't wait to show off my independence, and my family will be proud when I can read my own menu with them.

In my opinion, using the KNFB reader for one of it's intended purposes is not showing off, any more than using your iPhone to make a phone call. You are not proclaiming to the entire restaurant, or to those at your table, that you can do this, and isn't it mind blowing? Hey, look what I can do, folks? Isn't that cool?? You are, in actuality, being more independent.

    When I dine, I am usually with others, and I don’t like the idea
    of holding everyone else up just to show off. I would prefer a
    Braille menu, or better yet, an online menu that I can take my
    time perusing before i go to the restaurant. I also like iPhone
    apps like All Access Menus.

    Besides those who don’t mind making a spectacle of themselves or
    mind putting of meals for themselves and their company, is it
    really practical to use the KNFB Reader for restaurant menus? I am
    wondering about the speed and accuracy of scanning menus, which
    can vary widely in format and quality.

    Thanks!

    I love the KNFB reader. I use it primarily for reading short paper
    documents like business letters, etc.. I use it on an iPhone 5
    running iOS 7.1.2 and am amazed at how quick and accurate it is.

    All, I have reward points and could redeem them for iTunes gift

    if folks find themselves using it a lot, in what situations, and
    what things have worked well and what things have not?

    Thank you.
