I say this because I have been using OCR apps, including text detective, text grabber prizmo, KNFB reader and others since iPhone 4S and have not seen a huge OCR improvements. In other words the OCR improvements do not match the huge changes in the photo quality across the various releases of the iPhone. Of course the improvements in stability and speed of recognition are noticeable between 4S and five, 5 and 5S, 6 and 6S etc.… but the speed and stability are functions of memory and processor> I would imagine that the great improvements in Cameras would be reflected in much more accurate OCR results.

Why do you say developers of OCR apps have not taken full advantage of the camera capabilities of the 6S and 7? Just curious how you know this?

May be it is too early to tell because none of us has seen iPhone ten yet. But I listened to the Apple description of the hardware carefully and I could not find in it anything for me as a blind user which does not already exist in iPhone seven or the forth coming iPhone eight. How many pixels on the retina display is of no interest to me since I have the curtains always turned on. I am not sure how much advantages could the developers of OCR apps can find in iPhone ten’s camera to perfect their products, As is the Cameras in the existing iPhone six S and Seven are great, and the developers of OCR apps have not taken full advantages of them yet. Very curious to know if You folks have reached similar tentative impressions to mine. Regards, Cris -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
