I'm another one of those who has tried all those other OCR apps with no success. With only a few attempts with TextDetective Blind Treasures I was able to get very good results. It all comes down to holding the phone at the right height and lighting. For a first release, this is a wonderful app and I hope they keep improving it.

I am one of those who could not get prismo or Saytext to work at all, but can with Text Detective. I suppose that really it all comes down to, (just like with anything else,) what works for one isn't always going to work for another. Meanwhile, am I the only one who wishes that if they bought an app and didn't like it or it didn't work for them, but maybe it would work for someone else, that they could gift their coppy to them? At least then your money isn't going to waste. *smile* Amy Billman Check out my company for your screen protector and phone accessory needs!

It may work if you have enough vision to help you align, but it sure isn't working for me! I am sorry I bought it. What scanning success I have had has been with either Prizmo, where one can use one's voice to activate the camera shutter, or SayText, where I can tap the button prior to raising the camera.
