Re: KNFB Reader on iPhone

I wonder if these problems might have to do with not enough contrast between the item being scanned and the surface below it, and therefore, KNFB having trouble zooming to the right point? Just a guess, I don't have KNFB reader installed. Glenn - Original Message - From: "Elea

Re: KNFB Reader on iPhone

I'm using KNFB reader on my iPhone 5 and IOS 8.2. I was trying to read my Time magazine. Although the app said all 4 corners were visible, the reader said there was no text. According to K1000 however, there was text. So, the reader has a ways to go to replace K1000. Sent from my i

Re: KNFB Reader on iPhone

It is said that books - and to me the manual is a small book - can cause problems with shadow? Don't ask me but that's what I read, must consult the book "Getting The Picture" which is a must for anyone who wants to put their camera on their iPhone to good practical use. On 1 Oct 2014, at 10:2

Judy, If you want the KNFB reader, and are willing to upgrade to use it, why not get it and install it on your iPhone 4S, and if it is not up to your liking, then upgrade. I'm sure that you can do this, since I read where someone did that with an iPad. Glenn - Original Message -

Re: KNFB Reader Does it work on the iPad?

I certainly will. Assuming the app will install and run on the IPad, there are logistical issues. The rear-facing camera is in one corner of the bottom. It will need to be suspended over the middle of the reading area plus one will need a light source to aluminate it. I like to build things

KNFB Reader Does it work on the iPad?

The IPad I have is about 2 years old and came with IOS6 installed. I have since upgraded it to IOS7 and will upgrade to 8 shortly so it runs the right versions of IOS for the KNFB Reader but IPads weren't mentioned at all in their list of supported devices. The app is discuss
