After a discussion with my GM for our Star Wars Saga edition, I'd like to get a seeing eye droid to help convince my party and NPCs that my Miraluka is actually a blind human. But as I was informed the smaller a droid gets, the more credits it costs.
I don't want a giant protocol droid, as there is one in the party and I'd like to have something slightly different and avoid conflict. Almost like a skull servitor but for Star Wars, the size of a training droid:
For bonus points, it doesn't need to actually be reliable, as my character isn't really blind!
Overall though, I was wondering how could I stat an affordable (sub 1K creds) droid to help read for me, and keep my cover.

A LeisureMech Personal Droid only costs 600 credits (p49 Scavenger's Guide to Droids).
The GM's call, of course, but I would assume a droid capable of carrying simple conversations and noticing / keeping track of details in a character's life "from tastes in food and culture to the amount of fuel left in a speeder" could (or could be modified to) perform the comparatively simple task of using OCR to convert text-to-speech.
