Hi Richard, Yes, I am definitely considering purchasing the Voice Stream Scanner. Can Voice Stream scanner be purchased from the app store? I called Apple accessibility, and they remotely ran a diagnostic test, and I am happy to say all is well! So I can now purchase the Voice Stream Scanner! Smile! I don’t have the voice Stream Reader though, will that make a difference? Thank you again! Janet

Janet, Before you do anything, you need to sort out if your phone is having a problem, which I suspect now that it is. If TapTapSee isn’t working for you, then something has gone bad with your camera. KNFB Reader is a joke these days, but TapTapSee should work fine, as well as should Seeing AI in at least the short text channel. So before spending the $5.99 for Voice Dream Scanner, get your phone checked out. Apple should be able to do that remotely if you don’ T have an Apple store handy. You will need the serial number from the Settings, General, About screen so they can run the diagnostics, or rather have you run them and they can see the results. But, I can assure you that if your camera is functioning correctly, you will not be sorry to spend the $5.99 for Voice Dream Scanner, especially if you already have Voice Dream Reader. But even without the reader, it is simply the best OCR application on the iPhone. It does not do bar codes, or any scene descriptions, but it will do the best job scanning print. It does not do columns yet, but for text on cans, prescription bottles, sheets of paper, there is nothing like it.

Hi Larry and all. Yes, I have the $6 to spare, but I’ve paid $55.99 for KNFB Reader app, and that doesn’t work well either, I have the Seeing AI app, I have the TapTap See app, and that isn’t working either. So I just wonder how well this voice dream scanner might work. Although, I would like to learn more about the voice dream scanner.

Hi All, I used to be able to use the Seeing AI app until I got my new XR phone, but now, for some unknown reason the app doesn't work 99.9 percent of the time. When I open the app and hold it over a can of soup or a box, etc, sometimes it will beep for a few seconds, and sometimes it just doesn't do anything, very seldom it will try to mumble a few words that I can't understand, and the phone also gets quite warm. I've just called Microsoft support through the Be My Eyes app, and they told me they can't do any trouble shooting over the phone. Although, they did read my can of soup to me, but I guess that might be all they can do, not sure! LOL! All MS could tell me was to take it to an Apple store, and let them see how it is acting because they think something must be wrong with the hardware, or I might have some kind of virus or a worm, and Apple needs to see this. MS also said the Seeing AI app is pretty strait forward, so I shouldn't be having this problem. So my question is can anyone tell me what settings to check to see if I have the app set up correctly? I've uninstalled the app two times, and reinstalled it. I've picked the voice I want to use for the app. I've checked the language, I've allowed the app to use my camera. When I double tap on which reading option I want to use meaning either to read a product, short text, document, etc, sometimes, voiceover just completely stops talking, but I can still hear some tapping sounds, so I know the phone or the app is doing something, but I have to close the Seeing AI app through the app switcher, to get voiceover to talk again, and go back into the app. Sometimes the screen jumps to the app switcher, or just closes the entire app. I've reset my phone up as a new phone two times since I've had it, I've reset my network settings as well, so any opinions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you all. Janet Peace Be With You. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
