You might remember Brad Dunse from his contributions over on the SeroTalk blog.<\/a> He\u2019s got a knack with the words, and when we received the following email from him, we thought it worth asking for permission to reprint it here. He agreed, and so here you are, proof positive that DSP really is everything it\u2019s cracked up to be, from the words of one satisfied customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s Brad:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a cell pic of an old photo copy can\u2019t fool DocuScan Plus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I run two businesses, three when I\u2019m doing my musician thing. And, I like being independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, I volunteer for a state committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, one committee member forwarded a PDF to some of us blind folk to look at before a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the exact exchange that went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin paste:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDan,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have another format for the form. JAWS reads it as a \u2018blank document\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brad,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you have the same issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks Tim\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan\u2019s reply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTim,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately we were never given electronic copies as the limits were always subject to change, so this is a cell phone picture of a photo copy from several years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

End paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what I did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took that old slop of a cell pic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put it through DocuScan Plus, and emailed to those fellas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you believe it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crooked cell phone pic, of an old photocopy, from years ago, that Jaws wouldn\u2019t read\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And which, one might think a $1,600 OCR software package was needed to crack the meat out of this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just the teeny-weenie little software package that packs a friggin\u2019 wallop: DocuScan Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just ignore the Adobe Reader updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I\u2019ve given up on that screen reader that is supposed to do OCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their line formatting is off. Words are jumbled. And it doesn\u2019t create headers or links from the text either like DocuScan Plus does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bah. Don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we\u2019re not even talking about the ability to download BookShare books Johnny-on-the-spot and start reading. Create RTF files from PDFs. Make Daisy books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create MP3 files of whatever book or PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. I\u2019ll take my little DocuScan Plus, and its little price straight to the bank of blindness independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an investment in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
