It is the English site, I mean, it is in English. Here again is the exact same link which I have just coppied from my last email. http://www.sensotec.be/products/detail.aspx?ID=349 I can't understand what's going on because you and Andrew say its in another language but I'm reading it here in absolutely perfect English, the exact same link I'm emailing and have previously emailed? I have no idea what's wrong, but from my end, and rechecking the link, this is definitely English. Ari On 1/7/13, Steve Nutt <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, No, it wasn't, the link you gave was the Belginan site.

If you have your screenreader set to detect language changes, maybe switch that setting off, because it could be that even though the site is actually in English, it is written using code of another language. If you're still having a problem, ask a sighted person to try read it. I'm sorry, I just can't think what the problem you might be having could be because the link in the email is to the english version of the site.

In their comparison they found this one to be the most accurate, not the Sara. Here is the English web site. http://www.sensotec.be/products/detail.aspx?ID=349 I will look for the article for you. It was from a Belgian computer magazine for the blind called Infovisie. It is in Dutch, and I could only understand it because its near enough to afrikaans, but you can try google translate it. I'll look for it and email it to you. If I remember, I think the reason they gave for this being the most accurate product was they said the Omnipage engine it uses is better than the Finereader engine Sara apparrently uses, but I can't be sure. The others they also compared were the Poet from Baum and something called Sophie Pro from Handytech in Germany. I don't really remember what their findings were on those two, I just remember that they gave the Sensotec above the best award. I also don't know if they still sell it, but there's also another reading machine from Australia which actually sounds very nice because it has an A3 scanner size, so you can scan the book more easily or at least two pages of a hard book at one time. I'm sorry, but even though it sounds nice I have no idea how good it is and haven't read any reviews of it. The good part about this one is you can order it online, maybe you can email them and ask for more info if you want. http://www.sensorytools.com/excalibur.htm Ari Ari On 1/6/13, andrew shipp <andrew.shipp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:John, I’ve got the lexmark mfp and I try to scan books in and don’t have hardly any success with it so this is why I’m looking at this machine.

All you need is a scanner. You can get a USB scanner, such as the Canon LiDE 210 for 60 quid or so. If you go down the access tech route it'll cost you hundreds to do the same thing. Ok, John. ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew shipp To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 4:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] Sarah scanner and read machine So what is the price of one of these machines? will it read stuff on glossy paper also? will I be able to read my bank statements on it? I mainly would like this for reading gardening books, would it ignore the graphic? Is there any thing this machine will not read? I think I shall get one as long as all my questions are answered. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
