[nabs] Benefits of Kerzweil?

[Laura Glowacki]

Dornetta,

The Kurzweil that we were talking about before, the thread I 
believe that was started by Olivia talking about pdfs, is the 
software program you install on a pc and use in conjunction with 
a scanner to scan printed materials and then convert it to 
readable text.  The program also converts pdf and some other 
image files in to text, and it does serve as basically a 
functional word processing program and has spellcheck etc.

The camera thing that I think you're referring to is the older 
knfb reader wich is ... well for similar purposes.  But obviously 
a pc and scanner is more powerful and will turn out better 
results sometimes, can be faster if you need to scan a lot of 
pages, and isn't inconvenient if your near a computer all of the 
time.

HTH,
Laura

BlankHello all!
I have heard a few of yall mention the Kerzweil. I currently have 
the older model-camera  attachment but am wondering about this 
"other" product you all are speaking of. What is it and what are 
the venefits?
Any information will be helpful :-)
Thanks,
