Re: Mark on the K N F B Reader
Mark, I also recently bought the KNFB Reader and have been amazed as well. During the holidays I went out to Denny's and out of curiosity, I scanned the Denny's menu from front to back. The Reader did extremely well, even when there were pictures on the pages. Some text was distorted or not recognized correctly, but for the most part everything came out well. I saved the file to refer back to later on future visits. Wayne On 12/29/14, Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com wrote: As well as any other OCR software. In other words, lotsa luck, buddy.

For years, I heard about how well the reader worked on the Symbian platform. Of course, as fate would have it, I was a Windows Mobile user. By the time I considered exploring Symbian, the iPhone 3GS hit the market and into the Apple orchard, went I. I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the ease-of-use of the reader and how versatile it appears to be. The accuracy is stunning, to say the least. I am running the app on an iPhone 5 S with iOS 7.12. When I purchased the app, I took it for a test drive, so to speak, and it read several documents I received in the mail, including insurance statements, bank notices, etc very well. On Friday, I was sitting in an office waiting room. On the table in front of me were several magazines. On a whim, I snapped a shot of a cover of one of the magazines and, despite the image on the cover, it was read almost perfectly. So, I decided to browse the magazine with the reader. As I had my headset attached to the phone, I disturbed no one and was able to, on the fly, access printed material. Marvelous. Now keep in mind that I do have some usable residual vision such that I do not need to first place the phone in the center of the page and then raise it up in order to get a good shot of the document. Nevertheless, not until now have I ever been able to enjoy reading printed material, on the fly, without magnification, in such a relaxed manner. What a wonderful piece of technology and how fortunate we are to live at a time when such things are possible. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
