Hello Stan and other interested persons.

I have only seen the K-NFB Reader in action wile a fully sighted person 
demoed the unit. To say the least it worked great and waht a price tag


as with any other aide as pricy as this one is you would deffinetly want to 
test drive before you buy.  Being parcially sighted I would be able to ketch 
onto how to line up the unit to take a proper picture. The unit does give 
voice cues to aide the user in lining up the shot.

Below is the review by AFB FOR Access World.
