Here are various things to keep in mind. Giraffe Reader is far easier to set up than StandScan, but Giraffe Reader doesn't work on the 6 and 6 plus. I honestly don't know, and I doubt people have run comparisons, but I suspect that the KNFBReader flash feature will provide enough life, making

What are the pros and cons of these different scanners? I know everyone likes KNFB Reader, but is there anyone of these that comes close, what would be the advantage of something like this Giraffe over something like KNFB Reader? Thanks, sorry for any confusion on my part. Eden On 11/16/2014

the giraffe is not an app. It's a stand you can use, while scanning with KNFB reader. so is the scanstand. Mr. Gail Crowe, and my guide dog Fred - Original Message - From: "Eden Kizer" To: Sent: Monday, November 17, 2014 12:00 AM Subject: Re: giraffe reader versus sta

I have both the Giraffe Reader and the StandScan. I am waiting to receive a different stand called ScanJig. Each one has its place depending on what the individual needs. Access World did a review of all three stands over the last couple of years. I'll put the links to the articles below: Giraf

Generally, lighting is important. Having said that, I've found amazing results with the Knfb Reader by itself in virtually total darkness using automatic flash. Based on that, I'd say you could probably get good results with the Giraffe which is a little more solid than the Scanstand. You coul
