RE: knfb reader help

RE: Can KNFB reader help?
It might help to have a bright light shining at the engraving from one side or the other, so that shadows are cast, possibley darkening the engraved letters.

Re: Can KNFB reader help?
It probably can, but sometimes, plaques and such use very fancy printing, or other unusual fonts. As you know, unusual fonts and OCR oftentimes do not work well together. Let us know how well it does.

Re: KNFB Reader Help?
Hi Carrie, I too just purchased the app. I can't get the vibrate the tilt guidance to work for me. But I held the camera straight up-and-down, and the paper in the other hand with the envelope straight up-and-down and it didn't read enough text to let me know whether I wanted to keep the piece of mail or not. Just keep trying, and it should work for you. It takes a lot of patience and practice, but it is a good app. God bless and good luck,wren Langley PS, that was supposed to be it did read enough of the mail to let me know if I wanted to keep it or not.

Sorry about that. I didn't explain it right. I already have my ring tone turned on in the sounds in settings but I can't get the vibration to stop vibrating when I use the tilt guidance feature.

Re: KNFB Reader Help?
Perhapss you should put the phone on a table and if it does not vibrate, you will know your table is level, then pick it up and see if you can keep it level. It does not take much of a tilt to start the vibrations. It occurs to me that if people have a hard time holding things like trays, or plates or even cups level, this could be a good tool for learning to hold things level by putting the phone on them, while they are empty of course, and see if they can walk across a room without the phone vibrating.

RE: KNFB Reader Help?
Hi, If you are holding it correctly, it will stop vibrating. For as long as the phone vibrates, it is not level. Note that this does not apply in the vertical position if you are taking a picture of a document posted on a wall or bulletin board. I would like that feature to be part of the next update.

Re: KNFB Reader Help?
One technique that might help you is to put the phone flat on the page you want to scan with the back facing camera in the center of the page. Then grasp the phone with your thumbs and little fingers on the four corners of the phone and raise the phone up trying to keep it flat and the camera still centered on the page. For a 8.5 by 11 inch page, you want to raise the phone about 12 inches above the page. Then, the field of view report should tell you that all four corners of the page are in view. Then take the picture. With practice, you will be able to estimate the distance above the page and getting the camera centered over the page. This is how I got good scans with Prizmo before getting the standscan pro and then the Giraffe Reader. I still have not purchased KNFB Reader, but with all the rave reviews, I may decide it is worth it.
