Well, Sherlock Holmes is a detective, so not difficult to deduce.

Subject: Text Detective [was "Re: The Sherlock Holmes Of OCR Apps"]
Are you saying that the subject line should be changed to include "Text
Detective" so people wanting information on Text Detective could easily
find it in the future? If so, I went ahead and added that to the subject
line, but there's no reason you couldn't have done that as well Jon!
*smile* This is not a serious complaint or criticism, but just a gentle
nudge.
Also, although it's true that "Text Detective" wasn't in the subject
line, "OCR" was, so I think most people looking for information on Text
Detective would still stumble across it, but thinking about good subject
lines is a good point. I was looking through my folders on posts
concerning GPS apps, and I definitely appreciate good subject lines!

Hi Chuck,
How far from what your are trying to scan do you hold your phone? 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.

I have had no success with this app.
I followed the tips, and I am in normal office lighting. 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?
Chuck
