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.
