Hi All, Those of you with iPhones who are looking for a good OCR app should be aware that TextGrabber + Translator is on sale today for $0.99. It normally lists for $5.99. You can read the AppleVis Directory entry and listen to the AppleVis podcast about using TextGrabber + Translator with the StandScan Pro. You can also read the June 2013 AccessWorld article on this app. This app was rewritten last Spring to be completely accessible with VoiceOver, and is also one of the top two or three OCR apps in the App Store. It's usable on all iOS devices, but requires a good camera.
