Without people such ...Thanks for volunteering, Ed. Without people such as yourself, this service wouldn’t ever get off the ground, no matter how innovative and great it is intended to be.<BR/><BR/>If blind people using the service want to use the service, I think they should be able to fax scanned images. Just because the service strives to make it where the user does not need a computer, doesn’t mean that they couldn’t use one. I believe that the person can use one of the available free web fax services to do this, then have ReadThisToMe call them on their landline to read them the information.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the man who has begun ReadThisToMe also hosts a web site that offers free faxing from the computer. It is called<BR/><A HREF="http://faxzero.com/" REL="nofollow">FaxZero.com</A><BR/>And it is linked to on the ReadThisToMe home page.<BR/><BR/>(This is not an endorsement of this fax service over any other. I just thought I’d mention it as I found it on the ReadThisToMe site when iwas looking over it.)<BR/><BR/>I’d encourage you to share that thought about using computer-generated faxes with your circle of blind contacts. That should work just as well as a stand alone fax machine.<BR/><BR/>RGRon Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183453197257493485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31804311.post-52106888940143517272007-10-10T13:56:00.000-05:002007-10-10T13:56:00.000-05:00I signed up as a volunteer, and also sent the info...I signed up as a volunteer, and also sent the info out to the blind folks I know. Most of them do not have fax machines. One suggested that he'd like to be able to upload scanned images. We shall see how well it works, but I'm happy to give volunteering a try.Ed Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658981951274479458noreply@blogger.com
