Subject: RE: portable scanning
Hi Christine,
The only answer, although maybe not the most pratical would be a laptop
with Kurzweil and a portable scanner like a Canoscan USB that draws its
power directly from the laptop. He could keep these locked in his truck.
He could then create an MP3 file using Kurzweil and download it to an
MP3 player which he could listen to on the job site. He would need to
have the basic computer & Kurzweil skills to preform these tasks but I
am not aware of any other method of remote scanning availble at this
time.

I'll take advantage of the last few weeks of this list to go fishing for
ideas.
I'm looking for technology I'm not sure is out there. I have an adult
client that is unable to read due to an undiagnosed head injury he
received as a child. He is employed as a plumber. Part of his job
requires him to install equipment, often times given written
instructions on the spot. Up till now he has been getting phone support
from his wife, this is not functional because she is working too. He
needs to scan a small amount of material into a readable format in a
quick way in the field.
For general reading we are exploring Kurzweil and WYNN as well as
TextHelp. But he needs to scan material in the field. We have tried the
Readingpen from Wizcom but it will only scan one line at a time. While
this is somewhat of an improvement, it is not functional either as he
often has a full paragraph of text to read. The instructions are not
always in one line text. We are going to see if the Quick link-Pen Elite
will meet our needs but I must admit I'm not too hopeful.
Any bites?
