Well, I'm not sure it is. What he appears to be talking about is screen imaging of paper documents. i.e. a video-or-computer-assisted magnifying glass. The devices I'm thinking of are described at
Hello Dave, Thanks for your input. Yes, you are correct. You are describing machines that are commercially available and are completely self contained and or can use the computer monitor independently with no computer assistance. I have never seen one for $800 though and I have used one for $200. They are still bulky things that require a lot of space and still require moving the material around under the camera lens. In my proposal the process would be done through computer software wher the magnification and scrolling would be with the mouse or cursor keys by combining camera and graphical viewer software. as I explained in the URL that I posted. www.hiddenlake.net/Personal/reader.html lNo big bulky machine and no moving of material, and it would be free! for visibility impaired people. Now I just have to get someone interested to tackle it.That's why I posted here. A very large number of knowledgeable people here. Again I must apologize for the OT post but I think it is a worthwhile and important project.
