I have not done anything fancy with the app but from the sound of it, alan has 
done quite a lot. I found the app totally accessible and easy to use.

Can you give some concrete examples what you have done with it and how you did 
it?

I am still keeping an eye on the app (pun intended) because Microsoft has a 
pretty good track record with regards to accessibility of their iOS apps and I 
hope they make this app better and even more accessible.

I am amazed that three of you say you did not find this app useful. I just 
downloaded it today and am thrilled with what it does and how easy it was to 
get started. Strange that our experience would be so different.

I also tried this app and did not find it very good at all.

For free, the iDentifi app set to Text works great if you don’t mind not be 
able to easily save the file.

I tried it and found it less than intuitive. I heard about it from a Cool Blind 
Tech Podcast after the CSUN where they mentioned how youcould scan a business 
card and it would recognize all the text like names, phone numbers and so on 
and you could easily create a contact entry from that and I could not at all 
figure out how to do this.

Hi All,

Got this from Top Tech Tidbits.
5. Microsoft Office Lens is a free alternative to the KNFB Reader on the 
iPhone for reading print:

Take care.
