I would just like to point out that this is not an OCR app for the blind.
Rather it is geared towards those who have some usable vision much like zoom
text is. If one buys this app with the expectation that it will be an ocr
solution for the blind, one will be disappointment. The fact that people
have assumed that this app is an ocr app for the blind has sparked quite a
debate on the aiphone list. Hopefully this will help to eliminate confusion
and save some one from being disappointed.

Subject: Re: zoomreader for the iphone!
Hello Marlaina,
Really, there's nothing to get excited about. Hardly anyone has had any
success with Zoom Reader.
I'm totally blind and get reasonable results with Both Prizmo and SayText
which are considerably cheaper than Zoom Reader.
In my opinion, Prizmo is the best so far, and it's multilingual which for
me is a big plus.
All these OCR apps require quite a bit of practice before you get good
results, but it can be done.
For totals like me, I would recommend getting Light Detector as well to
make sure that there's sufficient light for the OCR apps to work.
Cheers,
Anne
