You're right. Those other apps are fine for identifying food packages or such. It sounds to me like one has to have an iPhone to really use these apps. I like the iPad mini for its size and am probably not in the market for a big iPad. I was under the original impression that the camera on the i

Hi Steve, I think the iPad mini camera isn't quite good enough for a blind user to easily use with Prizmo. If you use a StandScan Pro with a third or fourth generation iPad (assuming that you have this set up with additional support for the iPad), you can get OCR with Prizmo to work. I doubt
