I have a camera here, it has a stand.
I am drawing a blank, but they recommend a particular make and model.
Its fast, but I think the flat bed is more accureate if you are doing
something important like a book.
I may need to learn more, but those are my first impressions.

Subject: (o.t.) Uisng K1000
The K 1000 in this case is Kurzweil 1000. In their manual they say that you
may use a scanner or a camera for inputting data. Has anyone tried the
camera approach? It certainly works well with KNFB Reader but how about K
1000?

Subject: Audible rotor direction indicator
I don't think I have commented on this thread, but back in 1975, I had a
HamAm rotor that turned my HighGain TH6DXX 6 element beam. There was no way
for a blind person to know the direction the antenna was pointing because
the rotor meter was of course under glass and probably had a very small
needle. A friend at the time, built a small device, seems it was a voltage
controled oscillator with a pointer knob on top that rotated freely 360
degrees. I would set the pointer in the direction I wanted to point the
beam and hit the keys on the rotor. When the tone in the speaker inside the
attached box nulled out, I knew I was pointing northwest or where ever I
needed to point. I am not aware of any similar audible rotor indicators out
there today.
