At this same technology show I saw the Oscar and I have to admit it was
worth waiting for.  Apparently many people here were standing in line
allthe way to the front door to look at the Oscar and I didn't see one
who was disappointed.  It read everything I fed it from Dot Matrix that
the Kurzweil couldn't get through to bank statements, dull copies ETC.
It did make some mistakes but much fewer than the Kurzweil..  At
$3,895.00 it was excellent.  It appeared to be much more versital than
the Kurzweil at least.  This in no way to say it was perfect, it wasn't
but it did read everything that people put on it at least to the point
that you knew what the document was.  I'm sure that more improvements
will be made but the Oscar stands out to me as a good product at a good
price.  Grant
