Hello Cheryl, For OCR with my iPhone, I use TextGrabber plus Translator with either my StandScan Pro or my Giraffe Reader. I like the small profile of the Giraffe Reader, but the StandScan Pro does a better job. TextGrabber is really fast, too and I don't need to know in advance what language my document is in. I have both English and French set as the languages and it can handle both in the same document, just like FineReader can.
