Re: [Mobile.AI] suggestion for buying new smartphone
Dear friends, thank you for your valuable suggestions. I am not using KNFB reader. I take images using an app called camscanner. this app processes the images for darkness etc, and make them readable to OCR softwares. then I convert them to PDF and copy to my computer. pdf option is available in camscanner. I feed thus obtained images to Kurzweil and get the converted KES files. I have prepared my own stand for holding the mobile. though not very good and heavy in weight, it is portable. I want to use this for scanning books and not for bills, receipts, etc. I am already having a 5MP camera with samsung core prime. but it cannot scan large pages like A4 and above. also, I cannot scan 2 pages at a time as the quality and resolution of images will be reduced. I am scanning small books with it without problem. any further suggestion will be appreciated. yours Umesha ,, On 6/22/16, Raju Singh <bidh...@gmail.com> wrote: > according to my observation, the algorithm for knfb reader over the mobile > is still premature. and you can no longer be rely on mobile scanning, if > you are scanning some serious things. however for the day by day use, like > reading bills, printed applications, restorent menus, even some novals you > want to study etc, this program is the perfect solution. as satguru sir > says, you might have to adopt the knfb stand. if you want to batch scan, > but it can not be gurented about the accuracy as computer application. > > best thing about this knfb reader is that it doesn't uses the resolution for > recognization purpose, instead it uses zuming function, that's why 5 mp > camera is more then enough for knfb reader. > > for the smart phone recommendation, i would like to believe moto phone is > the best. > > On June 22, 2016 4:32:41 PM GMT+05:30, Satguru Rathi > <tarannumra...@gmail.com> wrote: >>To add to what Mohib said, though the KNFB reader offers “Batch Mode” >>for continuous scanning, heavy scanning won’t be possible without a >>dedicated stand and would be intresting to know if there are portable >>scanning stands available to carry around. >>Coming to phone, accessibility and lots of other things such as timely >>updates, battery, etc. are other contributing factors to consider >>before making a decision.

Re: [Mobile.AI] how to purchase and make payment in google play store
Thank you friends, Bhavya, can't we use debit cards? should we use only credit cards? by the way friends, yesterday I purchased a pre paid card. now it is Rs. 750, 1000 and 1500. 500 is not available now. I don't know about Vijay sales, but there are number of spice hot spots in bangalore. I contacted few of them. one of them even offered me a door delivery for bangalorians. but I am outside bangalore. so, I got it through my friend. the seller told that it is safer than even credit card. he also told there is no validity period for using the amount. I am yet to add the code to my account. one correction to my earlier mail, the camscanner costs only Rs. 119+. with regards, Umesha S. E.
