We've found this tool frustrating because if you don't scan exactly
correctly, you get garbled information or no information at all. Has
anyone
had better luck?

This product is one of many that Wizcom produces. This device is helpful
for quick definitions of words. So if a student is reading and they do
not know the definition it can find the definition and read it back, its
my understanding that this is helpful for struggling readers where
reading a dictionary is difficult. This particular client knows
definition of words, its reading instructions that is difficult. Thanks
for the suggestion.

In case you are still looking, the is a pen call 'Quicktionary Pen' that
allows you to scan small areas text in a document and reads it aloud.
This sounds like it should do the trick.

information available at the above site. Do a google search to find a
vendor. I beleive it is manufactured by Sony but not positive
