I have no idea if this is true or not as I haven't tried it but maybe it
will work. I was told you can fashion a stand out of a wire coat hanger and
use it to hold your iPhone at about 21 inches high. The only tools you need
are a pare of wire cutters and a pare of pliers to bend the coat hanger.
You want to make the stand so that it looks like a block letter C. The
document to be scanned lays on a table top with one of the short legs
beneath the document and the iPhone laying on the other short end. The long
peace is the part that's 21 inches high. Like I said, I haven't tried this
myself but the very least it can do is to provide stability. I'd be
interested in hearing about it should you decide to give it a shot.

This discussion comes up from time to time, and there are many variables.
There were similar discussions on the KNFB reader list. lighting is
important because you are not using a scanner that has its own light
source. Distance between the camera and the reading material is important,
along with making sure that the camera is not tilted in relationship to
the reading material.

Yes, we need a good decent OCR Package for the I phone as none of them
have worked for me.

I tried using this app a couple of days ago and got it to scan, but could
never make any sense out of the results. Prismo is no better to be
honest.

Hello,
That part is rather confusing. If you are talking about the first part
when
you open the app up for the first time?
This is the Tutorial part of where you have to swipe to go on with the
four
pages of it.
The secret is is that flick until you get to the part where it says Page
1
of 4. Now realize that we are in the landscape mode with the Home button
on
the left. Once you have the focus on the Page 1 of 4. Down do the Three
fingers swipe to the left. This will proceed on to Page 2. You will need
to
do this for all four pages of the Tutorial.
Hope this helps you out and that we are talking about the same thing? ;)
I found this to be one of my favorite OCR program to date.

Has anyone been able to make the Text Detective App work? I can't get
past
the first page. It says three finger flick left to get to next step and
I
can't get it to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciate or if
there
is an easier app for reading envelopes and documents please let me know.
Thanks!
Carla
