Actually, the KNFB Reader mobile requires you to hit a button while you are holding the camera. it takes a real feat of coordination.

I will not delete the app in hopes of future adjustments. It seems as if no scanning app on a mobile phone works as well as larger scanners guess that’s to be expected. I will go write something on your blog later. Have a good day!

I think that is important to remember that this is the first version of this app, and it might be a good idea if those of us who have bought this app contact the developer with our comments so that they will know what some of our issues with the app is. I for one have had very good results with Text Detective and have no trouble recommending it to others. I really do appreciate your comments and if you didn't leave a comment on our blog would you please do so? This is how we will be able to keep track of how many people we are getting to read our blog posts. If you have any suggestions as to an app or something with the iPhone that I can write please let me know and I will see if I can put a future post. together. Scott E.

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.
