I’ve done the same thing. The results weren’t perfect especially computer screens but it has saved us from eating hamburger instead of steak, smile.

If I'm in a hotel, I've read shampoo, coffee to know if it is decaffeinated or not, etc. Handouts at a meeting.

Does that mean when my laptop is not talking I could use KNFB Reader to read the screen? If so, that is a major point in its favor.

I use it for menus, books, bus stop signs, computer screens when troubleshooting and..any other printed materials I may need to read while out and about. It's definitely not worth the price, but if you have the money to spend it's a great tool to have and the most accurate and accessible OCR app for iOS.

I’m aware of restaurant menus, but is there anything else? We were wondering if perhaps it can help in a grocery store with reading prices. Those tags are not flat though and we thought that might be a problem. What kinds of experiences do any of you have using the app away from home? >From everything I’ve heard about it, I think it’s a very cool app, but I’d like to be able to justify the cost a bit more before putting it on my Christmas list. It’s hard to do that for stuff here at home, but if I can come up with enough useful things to do with it away from home, well then, I could probably get one. Thanks much.
