[net.wanted] character recognition from bit image

jbn@wdl1.UUCP (08/23/85)

      Oberon Associates makes a device much like this for the IBM PC; it's
only $400 and appears to work OK, but it needs to be visually aligned on the
line of text.  Character recognition software is provided.
      There is a good reading machine for the blind from Kurtzweil, developed
about ten years ago.  Original versions ran about $20K, but the price must be
down by now.
