Hi Everyone,
I have been following the thread about the KNFB app. I have no problem with
their pricing. People will either buy it or they won't. So, this is not a
slam of the company at all. My question is what is the advantage of a

OCR from a distance. They demonstrated having OCR from a PowerPoint that is 25
feet away. I believe that is the biggest difference at the moment.

SeroTalk convention interview specials a discussion with the
developers of the KNFB Reader app, and they said that it would work
best on a newer iPhone like 5C or 5S. Older hardware may still get the
job done, but might take a

Basically, we don't know. This app could just be the same as Prizmo, but with a
carefully tailored demo behind it to make it look amazing, or it could
revolutionize OCR. Until it is released, though, no one can say for sure. It
should only be six or seven more weeks, though, assuming the time
You get a similar thing with Prizmo, though.

If an app works with Speech, in most cases it also works with a braille
display. The OCR apps all work with Braille displays.
