I've always liked the KNFB Reader App ever since it first appeared for
the iPhone some years ago.
I've found many uses of the App though it did take me a while to get
used to the idea of being able to use a camera to recognise literally
pages and pages of text, menus at my local pub, pages handed to me
whilst at an appointment and so it goes on, for those who are
considering the KNFB Reader then may I suggest you also read the book
"Getting The Picture" which is guide to photography on the iPhone from a
blind person's perspective - yes, you're dealing with a camera when it
coems to the KNFB Reader and so many other IOS Apps.
I had no hesitation therefore in purchasing the Android version of the
KNFB Reader App when it released and thus didnt' hesitate to purchase
the windows 10 version of the same App.
I tested KNFB Reader for Windows 10 in two ways, I held a page around 6
inches away from my Webcam for the first test.
Given that the page was held toward the camera just on spec - no aid to
help me line-up the page - the results were incredibly accurate and a
litte more so when I scanned the page on my HP Scanner using the KNFB
Reader, the KNFB reader by default just starts reading once the OCR
process has been completed.
The Interface for the App is incredibly straight forward and you can get
about all the elements of the App by using the Tab key, cursor keys in
the menu system - which is very compact - and the spacebar to select or
deselect an option.
Naturally the KNFB Reader Windows 10 App - as do the KNFB Reader Apps
for IOS and Android - can integrate with your Dropbox account thus
allowing you to Sync your KNFB data and scanned work across platforms
and versions of the reader.
Price for the Windows version is $128 US which I consider to be
excellent value for money.
