Okay Charles, enough! If you do not care to read a particular thread then simply use your delete key.
If you enjoy the thread but wish to have the subject line changed then either change it yourself, bring it up politely or *gasp* contact the list moderation! :) Do not contribute noise / complaints to this list. This goes for all of us. If you find you absolutely must say something do it positively and with respect please. Now, having said all of this; people, please please please make subject lines match what is in your posts. If you notice that a thread is becoming different from what it began as, then simply change the subject line in your response. This will help people who may not wish to open a message and get a completely different bit of info than they thought they were getting. This may not sound like much of an issue, but in long threads this can get to be rather annoying for people. I know it is easy to simply reply to a note and perhaps forget to change the subject line. I've done it, others have done it and I'm sure way more of us will do it again. :) The point is just give it a quick thought before you send your notes, K? it is very simple and will be very helpful for all of us. Thanks to you all, so very much! Have a lovely day and thank you for reading. Cheers!

For me, there are some limitations for both phone apps and pc software. If you want the portability of a phone, with rather some 80% chance of a raather accurate result, then KNFB reader is your choice of OCR apps on the phone. But, if you have lots of time, and don't mind turning your computer, and spend some time on scanning and outputting the document, then of course, a dedicate OCR software that usually cost around $900 with a decent scanner that cost around $300 will be the way to go. Put everything about the software, hardware, and the technology aside, I very much believe that how well the OCR works on the phone is very much depending on how good your image quality may be. For example, i was playing on my friend's KNFB Reader on a 5 the other day. Both of us took the same picture of the same catalog. One of our pictures showed as no text, and another reads it all from the top to the bottom. And it was an A4 page with same lighting, on the same table, etc. The only different is that, he took the picture rather close to the catalog, with over expose, while mine was about 1 feet away from the catalog.
