I am finding that his app doesn't need the phone quite so far above the page as some. But, if it is a full page of text, and you have a stand like the Fopydo which is about 10.5 or 11 inches above the page, it will emit a steady tone for 2 or 3 seconds and take the picture. Assuming of course, auto capture is on. Otherwise, if you double tap the capture image, it gets nearly 100 percent accuracy. Since his last version, I have only not heard a tone when the page had the blank side up. This is an iPhone SE, but that is also true with my work phone which is the 8 plus.

However, getting the tones to work is a bit spotty and I have to do some manipulating of the phone to get the tones to work. I believe this scanner is rather new and I guess it takes time to iron all the bugs out. That is, if bugs can be ironed! (Just kidding, of course)!

You no longer need edge detection on since the tone is telling you how much text is in view. So, the louder the tone the more information it sees. Hold it steady when the tone is loudest and if you have auto capture on, it will take the picture automatically.
