Re: How is OCR on iPhone 5 with iOS6?

2012-10-21 Thread Scott Howell
I also understand that increasing the MP of a camera does not necessarily 
improve the quality or capability of its OCR ability.

 Hi Keith,
  
 This was just discussed about 2 or 3 days ago when there was a thread about 
 Text Detective and Prizmo. In any case, the iPhone 5 has only a very 
 marginally improved camera and in fact has exactly the same camera as far as 
 the 8 MP sensor is concerned. They put a higher quality lens cover over the 
 camera and it apparently performs better in low light, but apart from that 
 it’s the exact same camera as the 4S has. I have a 4S and from what I read 
 and have heard OCR is the same. If you compare it to OCR on an iPhone 4 it 
 will be a bit better since the camera on the iPhone 4 is only 5 MP, but even 
 there the improvement is marginal and the quality of your results depend a 
 lot more on how good a picture you are able to take..

 Hi,
  
 Just curious. I don’t believe I have read any comments on this list yet with 
 the new, improved camera on the iPhone 5.
  
 Thanks in advance.
