Re: Online texts

J-

We are just starting a 5 week study with the hand held Intel Readers.
The key difference in this gadget is that it incorporates a camera
that can capture any text, digitize it on the spot, and read it aloud
while displaying the text on the screen. Text capture is quick enough
so many pages can be photographed and stored in a short period of
time. If you want to check back with me in five weeks I'll be glad to
tell you what we thought.
