Im still looking into it but I believe I may be able to buy an attachment for my phone and program that "MIGHT" be a viable option for reading microfiche film. So leave it with me but I think I'm on to something that might work but before I shell out $100 or $300 I must know that it does exactly what we want! I have 2 options for the phone and I have seen 1 old school reader that was quite pricey.
