Hi all
Has anyone got Handoff working on an iPhone 4s running iOS 8? I can't even find
the feature under Settings General like I can on my iPad Mini with Retina
also running iOS 8. Didn't think this was a hardware specific feature so don't
understand this at all.
Any replies greatly
Hi,
What they have done is that they have put the tilt guidance and the field view
report in the app so that we are supposed to better align our cameras with the
document and maybe they have done something with skewing and page correction so
that the app is more forgiving than the others that's
How do you folks do to take a picture of a vertical object for scanning? I
assume you can't use the tilt guidance very successfully and how will the field
view report work? As i understand it you shouldn't be supposed to be able to
take pictures of other things than those that lye on a desk
Well, Prizmo has some kind of guidance similar to the KNFB reader but it seems
to be unreliable at times and i don't think it has the tilt sensor. What if
that was built in? And another question on the same topic: The way we all, me
included skeptical as i am, rave about the KNFB reader, how

Hi Krister,
I'm not a developer, so make no evaluation whatsoever of how much work they had
to do to add the tilt guidance, field of view, and the anti-skewing stuff. I
still think the price was too high, but as Kevin wrote on Friday, it just
works. I know some people put a lot of time into

Hi Krister,
If you hold the phone 8-10 inches (20-25 CM) above the document, making
sure the camera is centered above it, then you should get fairly
accurate results. This is where the field of view report, and the tilt
guidance come in extremely handy!
You don't need to turn your arm at
No problem. Your question makes perfect sense. You do not need to be perfect to
get great results! I have not used the guidance at the program offers but
holding the phone elbow length away from the paper gave great results
unfortunately I cannot compare it to the old app.

Hello,
Now that many on this list and other lists have had some time to play with

I've tried it on round cans and bottles and depending on the print on the label

They won't. Back in the summer, on Twitter, they said that Apple would not
