Hello Marybeth,
The TextDetective app should work with the iPod Touch, but the camera
resolution on the iPod Touch models is not as good as for the iPhone, so OCR
results will be better on the iPhone. If someone has a Retina iPad Mini I'd be
curious to know how well it works with that device.
I did that. That's what's weird. I could download the app, but it just did
not transfer all the voices that I purchased and so on.
Glenn, what about accounts and so on?
Take care and thanks,
Brenda

Hello All,
TextDetective, the iPhone OCR app, is currently free. It usually lists for

I don't think iDevices synch with each other, at least I have never heard of
this. They synch with iTunes. You have to normally set up synch preferences
for each device under iTunes.
You can of course make the preferences identical.

Just got an iPad Mini today. I'm trying to sync with the iPhone5. For
some reason, iTunes doesn't seem to be doing it. I told iTunes to trust this

See my instructions I sent on in a prior post on this thread, basically you
import them to your mac using image capture which can be found in your apps
folder and go from there.

Esther has described the Giraffe Reader very well. It is extremely light and

I am not Anne but I know the designer of the product. It is a stand which
provides accurate distance from the iPhone to an A4 page to scan using OCR.
I had posted a link of Sam giving a demonstration of the stand about a week

On my Mac running OS 10.9.2 I am able to activate the Zoom hotkeys by going to
