Thanks I have this app. I’ll experiment to scan 4 pages.

In fact, any blind person should have this app on their phone as it has many so-called "Channels" which are extremely useful. First you have the "Short Text" channel which reads anything you point the camera at on the fly and more or less instantly. Often that is what I use first if I want to know where a letter is from or what a particular piece of paper says. I have to actually try this, but I don't think you necessarily have to have the page right side up, it would read it upside down just the same. Then there is the Document channel where you take an actual picture, i.e. if you put your iPhone flat on the page and lift up about 10 or 12 inches the picture is taken automatically once the page edges are detected. This is then so you can review the text and you have a Share buton at the bottom right which lets you do all the usual stuff like send it via email, save it to Files or, if you have it, Dropbox, OneDrive etc. You also have a Handwriting channel which is still in "preview" mode,, but it actually does a pretty good job if the handwriting is half way decent. Furthermore you have a Product channel which recognizes barcodes on products, you have a "Light" channel which is a light detector, there is a cash reader channel for recognizing paper money and a few others. The Seeing AI app is on my first home screen as I use it regularly and often.

I believe it is still $9.99. You can scan each side and then save it as one document and export it to yourself via email etc. It is the best app for saving multiple pages as one document. <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vdscan/id1446737725> <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vdscan/id1446737725> VDScan <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vdscan/id1446737725> OCR & Text To Speech Richard, USA. “What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.

I received a double sided two-page letter in mail. I dog ear the right corner for correct orientation. What app might I use to read this letter. Any possibility to scan all four sides and then read entire document and maybe save it? Thank you. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
