My guess is that KNFB Reader on a 6 or a 6 Plus will perform very much the same and that the optical image stabilization won't make a lot of difference. I think a lot of people are getting hung up on that one feature where a number of variables are involved in how good your OCR result will be.

Hello, Thanks to all that have responded to my inquiry about which iPhone 6 would be best in performing OCR. From the concenses, the amount of battery life between the 2 phones may be more of a determining factor then the optical stabilization. I'm sure in the coming days after the phone is

Remember, no one in the world except for a few Apple and cell carrier people has an iPhone6 yet. I'd wait until people can run comparison tests before making my final choice. I'd also wait until I can hold both and see just how big a factor the 6Plus size will be. On Sep 16, 2014, at 7:46 PM,

First of all be sure that your phone is in an edit mode and ready to type. If it is, go to the bottom left of the keyboard, voice over will say, more. Then to the right of that is the dictate key. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 17, 2014, at 12:11 AM, Joanne Chua
