[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]
Some where, I heard or maybe read about a system the size of a lunch box
which contained a hand held scanner. The scanner was different from the
KPR in that it as wide as the standard page and you moved it from top
to bottom fairly quick.
One pass would tell you if you had something to read then you could
decide whether you wanted to go on or not.
It seems like this was a package deal with speech and disk drives in a
fairly small package.
A friend would like to contact the company if some one can come up with
the name and maybe a number.
Thank you.
ROY
