I would recommend that you experiment with this and each time that you get a scan with a lot of gibberish just move the phone a little closer to your document. Remember that good lighting is crucial to a successful scan. Scott E.

I have tried to scan, an email, a electric bill, a letter, and a page from a book. I have tried different positions, scan lengths ETC. I will only get one or two words, and those are usually wrong. out of curiosity I tried using Text grabber on the same material. It worked about 90% of the time. Any ideas?
