Could be scanned for VI - here the voice function is probably more helpful than saving and putting into a larger font.

Hi
=20
Having never heard of this equipment before, I am interested in this =
scanning pen, but not for dyslexia as such - but could it be used by a =
visually impaired person to scan text which is too small for them to =
read - to then be downloaded onto a PC to be changed into a larger =
font??
=20
And is it possible to turn the 'voice' function off, for example if =
someone was in a quiet library wanting to scan quotes from a book - =
could the voice reading function be turned off?
=20
Just a thought?
