Hi, I do have a lot of trouble reading envelopes as well with KNFB reader. Any tips on how to do this better would be appreciated. Thanks.

I knew that the orientation was correct, but the app didn't read it and gave me nonsense. I needed to switch to another OCR app on the phone and to be honest OpenBook on my PC was the best for this task. The KNFB Reader app even crashed one time, so I needed to launch it again. I did made sure that all apps were closed from the app switcher. This didn't make a difference in getting readable text from KNFB Reader. Thought I would just pipe in on my most recent experience.

Just my thoughts, Sandy Sent from my iPhone On 28 Jan 2015, at 23:16, Richard Turner <rich...@turner42.com> wrote: If you are running at least a 4S but I would say a 5 or higher, it is most certainly worth it if nothing else for the speed and accuracy. After taking the picture, on a 5S at least, it begins reading the text in about 2 seconds. You can easily add more pages, etc. It does not, as yet, retain the format of the original document however, but I have high hopes that will be coming in an update. But, it also depends on how much scanning you would be doing whether it is worth it to you. Only you can determine that. Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

I can confirm the price drop. my question is, is it really worth it? I mean there are other ocr on the market that cost only a little fraction of this one... ofcourse they don't have the hints about your position and so on, but, for those who hown t knfb reader, do you find you can have really accurate results? does its worth all this money? thanks for the opinions Andrea Il 28/01/2015 22.53, David Cleveland ha scritto: According to Apple Vis the app is half price now. http://www.applevis.com/apps/deals/ios-apps-dropped-price/knfbreader-currently-reduced-9999-4999 I haven't been able to verify this since I already own the app. I can't see the current price when searching for the app in the App Store.
