- Hi there,
- Has anyone heard of a hand scanner of width about 8.5 inches or
- 210mm, which could be used to scan in an A4 page of text in one pass
- with no 'stitching' required ?
- I need this for a blind user who wants a portable ocr system
- connected to a speech synthesiser for reading printed text - so it's all
- in a good cause !
-
- Thanks,
