It claims to. But again, I would never recommend using an app for a book, at least not currently, and KNFB Reader in particular as it has many issues since version 3 was released. I’ve not kept up with it since other apps perform better even though they do not have column recognition as yet.
And, unless someone has it already, it ain’t worth $100.

If Openbook, then the Pearl camera and Openbook will give better results than any app on an iPhone at this time. With Openbook, you can have it separate the facing pages, so you can scan two pages at once and have them treated as two pages. Plus, Openbook can deal with columns, where no scanning app can as yet. I’m not sure Winston is going to implement column recognition any time soon, if ever. SuperSense is working on column recognition, which would help in separating facing pages, but I would not try scanning a book with an iPhone or Android device without a good stand so you don’t have to continually raise the phone to the perfect spot each time….

Has anyone compared scanning results between voice dream scanner and Freedom Sscientific Pearl Kamra? Someone wanted help with scanning a book that would not fit on her flat bed scanner because of a slightly bigger size. I believe the reach of a camera-based scanning device would be A little more than a standard flatbed scanner. i assume as far as recognition of the text is concerned, A computer-based app would give better results because of better processing speed.

I do not like KNFB Reader. You may want to consider getting a scanning stand. I love Voice Dream Scanner, but its way of letting you know if you have text in view is a tone that plays. The louder the tone, the more text. If you have it on auto-capture, once you are steady at the loudest tone for 2 or 3 seconds, it will take the picture. You want to be 10 to 12 inches above a full 8.5 by 11 document to get the best results. Supersense, tells you in words to move farther away, or 1 inch to the left, etc. Supersense has a free trial, and if you are convinced by it, right now it is haf price for a lifetime subscription for $49.99. Or there are monthly or yearly plans. Voice Dream Scanner on the other hand, is $5.99 one time purchase. They both have great points about them and Supersense is designed to deal with more objects than just text. You could also use the free Seeing AI app to scan a single page. Good luck.
