This would really only be of use if you could then also act on any of the buttons text grabber recognizes like you can with Jaws Convenient OCR. If with Jaws you perform OCR on, for example, an inaccessible application installation screen and you can identify buttons or links like Setup, Exit etc. you can actually click them with the Jaws cursor and it will work.

Iām just downloaded TextGrabber to check this, and there is nothing about this feature, but what I suspect is, if you allow TextGrabber to add to your photos, you could take a screen shot and have TextGrabber recognize it. For my money, Voice Dream Scanner is a far superior OCr app without all the hoops you have to jump through. I am now deleting TextGrabber again.

This is the ability to OCR the screen of any iPhone app who's buttons are either not exposed to voiceover or if they are then are not properly labeled. The text grabber release notes say that you need to enable this feature in settings within the text grabber app. I have yet to see this feature in the app or even find the setting. Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work? What am I missing? Thanks very much in advance. Don -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
