Ahoy,
After I start, remember that I'm now in university and so have a lot of homeworks that unfortunately will have to be with the book opened. And sorry for my bad orthography that for me was the first tyme to write english long sentences, so here I come.
So, here's the story:
It was the year 2011. I had 10 or 11 years old, I don't remember. In the country where I live, there's a tv program called "Héroes por Panamá" (Lit. Heros for Panama). I've entered as a guest, if I remembered correctly. The program is showed in november of each year.
Before that program, many things happened: I've played for the first tyme with an international panamanian artist, who's name I don't remember, neither I will try to menction here.
As a gift, an electric guitar for me was the result.
When the show was ending, as a surprice I've won 8000 dollars. Whith those dollars I've mannaged to purchase a talking scanner (my mother and family call it simpely as "reader"), but in technical terms its a "Scanning and Reading Solution". the first of the that they gifted to me was "SARA" "Scanning and Reading Appliance", developed by Freedom Scientific, the same company that developes Jaws, Fusion, MaJic, and an other, and recentely new, scanning and reading sollution that I will be mentioning later. . I've used it to scann books, eaven the bible. I liked it.
Sudently the menction "reader" at the passing of that years suffered problems. The first of them was a (kind of) motherbord not working.
The scanner was producing firstely the tartup tone sequence, but then indefenitly was playing the signal indicating waiting process.
But I've tryied to find a solution. years later: press f1 when the external keyboard is connected into the reader and it starts normally.
But as of now, an other problem occurs that for me is kinda impossible to resolve, neighter using an external keyboard, but anyways, that scanner is 9 or so years old ' maybe worth it selling it to earn 5000 dollars to get a scanner replacement, such as an other scanning and reading solution, hardware or software.
But getting back before that scanner was kind a inussable (in october 2018) I was in a conference that the blind panamanian people organice 1? or 2? years. On the 2nd and or 3rd day of the conference, when we were browsing products for blind people, I was amused that there's an other scanning solution: Optelec Clear reader (I don't know if I spelled correctly the name) (Didn't sound that name familiar?)
Well, after discovering that reader for a while, a new Competitor? was announced at the beginning of this actual year: Freedom Scientific Omni Reader. Like the clear reader, it's recharjable and also has magnification. I will not menction the software ones as I know that some people know those apps: KNFB Reader, Envision, ETC.it.
But since I want to replace that 9 year old scanner, I shall ask but later on. I just need, people, if you have tyme (I don't since I will go back to university for some english language oral exam), to compare those 2 reading solutions that are my definitive replacement.
So here.s the question, Which scanning and reading solution will I choose? Clear Reader or Omni Reader?
I will wait for you're responce.
