I doubt it as I do not think they changed the speaker at all.

That would be a good question for Apple.

I sold my 5th generation touch when I got the iPHone 5S in February of 2014, so 
I can’t compare straight across between the iPod 6th and 5th generations.

That is great news.  Does the 6th generation speaker have more volume than the 
5th generation?

I have the 6th generation iPod Touch and it does indeed have a flash.

I had the 5th generation and it did as well.

Since the 6th generation has the 64 bit processor, KNFB performs just as well 
on it as on the iPhone 5s or 6.

Russ, 

 

The iPod Touch fifth generation does have a flash.  Don't know about the sixth 
generation as I don't have one, but would be surprised if it did not also have 
a flash.  The fourth generation iPod Touch did not have a flash but, since it 
was limited to iOS6.x, it probably wouldn't run KNFB Reader anyway.

The best description I can think of is that it is like a wide diving board.  
The stand is about 9 inches wide.  The phone sits on the platform with about an 
inch of it sticking out over the edge.

So, if you are in a room with half-way decent lighting, plenty of room light 
gets in since most of the page is exposed.  If the only light source was 
directly behind the stand, it might cast a shadow, but I can’t think of any 
lighting situations that would be like that.

 

Of course, you also have the flash on the phone to compensate if needed.

 

I’ve not had any trouble at all with lighting.

 

Here is a link to his instructions for setting it up.  I don’t know if this 
will help.

Richard, 

 

How does the Fopydo stand do with allowing enough light to get to the page 
since it doesn't use an external light source?

The Fopydo has the most adjustability (if that is a word.)

You can easily raise it up from the default about 10.5 inches above the page to 
14 inches above the page for legal sized documents.

 

The StandScan is not adjustable and is about 11.5 or 12 inches above the page.

 

The ScanJig’s maximum distance is about 11 inches, but can be adjusted to be 
closer.

I think the question is not about a specific stand, but which one will offer 
the largest area of scannability based on the position of the phone. Since most 
offer optimal placement for the phone I'm fairly certain that which one is used 
will make very little difference because of the flexibility of the camera and 
the ability of the software to scan a somewhat larger area than what might be 
expected.

I too highly recommend the Fopydo, partly because it is the most portable, but 
also he is working on an attachment that will make scanning books much easier 
to go with the stand.

He is hoping to offer the attachment for around $10. So, between the $12 for 
the stand and $10 more for this nifty attachment, plus any shipping, you will 
have a very powerful scanning setup.

I have seen the first two prototypes of the attachment and am excited about it 
coming to the market.

I have no connection to the company. I just happened to get in touch with him 
early on in his development and got to put in my two cents worth.

Stay tuned.

Richard

Hi Christina. 

 

You can use a braille display instead of a bluetooth keyboard.

 

I highly recommend the fopydo stand. It is rather cheap and easy to use.

 

Best regards Annie.

Jonathan, 

 

Do you also recommend purchasing a bluetooth Keyboard  to use along with the 
Fopydo stand? I listened to the applevis podcast where they demonstrated using 
KNFB Reader 2.0 in stand mode and they used it with a bluetooth keyboard. It 
got me to thinking that it must be impossible or difficult to control the app 
since the iDevice will be face down. What do you think? I wasn’t really wanting 
to buy a stand and a keyboard. :)

 

Thanks,

Christina

Hi Don, I don't know if it's the best or not, but I bought a Fopydo, which is 
very reasonably priced, and am happy with it. I travelled with it recently and 
it was great for quickly dealing with things like the compendium in my hotel 
room.
