The software will compensate for a certain amount of skew, but if it totally didn't matter how crooked you hold it compared to the text they probably wouldn't have included the announcement.

If voice over says "no text visible", it is dollars to doughnuts that simply turning the page over will solve that. As for the advice about turning the page so many degrees clockwise or anti, I ignore that because, from what I can make out, the camera will compensate for that on its own.

This will be provided in how many degrees off you are either clockwise or counterclockwise. Sorry, but I am running the Ios 10 Public beta and KNFB Reader currently doesn't work with that so I can't give you examples as to what specific wording is used. There is also an option to turn on tilt guidance and if you have it on your phone will vibrate if you are not holding it flat. You can try/practice this by putting the phone on a level table. It should not vibrate. Now pick up your phone and try to keep it level/flat. If as you lift it up it starts to vibrate you know that you are not holding it flat any more. You can then try to compensate and see if you can hold it so it stops vibrating.
