And if you use Jaws where you have Convenient OCR at your fingertips reading image PDF files is so super-easy that I certainly wouldn't see why I would try to read the screen with an inaccessible PDF using Seeing AI.

Also, there is so much clutter on a computer screen, it would be hard to get just the document in focus. You might try maximizing the window to see if that helps. But, maybe printing it then using Seeing AI would be better. The Short Text works fabulously on my Windows 10 screen at home and my Windows 7 screen at work. But, I only use it for messages that are popping up. Not for trying to read a document on the screen.

Let's say I'm trying to view text from a scanned PDF on my computer. I hold the phone centered on the screen, about a foot away. All it will read me is the stuff at the top of the screen, with the menu bars and such.

Also, I feel like I do a decent job of holding the camera still but the text always stops and restarts.

It has taken practice but worth it for sure. which phone are you using? I'm using the SE version and all functions work fine for me. I used the short text for updating my computer just last night and this morning in fact. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Kelby Carlson Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2017 9:51 AM To: viphone Subject: Seeing AI Short Text Function I've been playing around with my Seeing AI app the past couple of days. Since I don't have many print documents around the house, I've been trying the short text function. At least when I have tried getting it to read the text on my computer screen I've had almost zero luck. No matter how close or far I put the camera from the screen, I get mostly gibberish and at best just the top of the window. Certainly never the main text of, say, a newspaper article. I can't imagine how people are using this to read fast food restaurant menus as many are claiming. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
