Hi all,
Just heard about this a half hour ago and tryed it.  It's super!
You can now scan, without installing blind software reading programs, like openbook, kurzweil, etc.!
It's scanning in the cloud!
How to use it?
1.  First, plug in your scanner to the computer.
2.  open whatever browser you're using.
3.  Now, turn off your screen reader, you won't need it for this!
4.  type in www.docuscanplus.com and press enter.
5.  Now, it will start speaking.  Just follow the prompts.  You can create a 3 day trial.
Then, after you did that, you can go to where it says simple scan and hit enter.
Then, click the continue button to start scanning whatever you have, whether it's a book, etc.!
Pretty cool stuff.
They will be coming out with a version that works on all cell phones!
Harry
