Hi David and Eileen, I'm puzzled by David's reply that the "Camera Dark" button in the TextGrabber app would support an external iPad camera for the original iPad. First of all, all the ways that I know of getting photos to the original iPad involve transferring images to the camera roll. If you use the Camera Connection kit that plugs in where the 30-pin charging or sync cable attaches, just below the Home button, you can either insert an SD card with camera images, if you are using the camera kit attachment that has a slotted opening to insert an SD card, or you can use the USB camera kit attachment that lets you plug in an unpowered USB device, like a card reader, into the USB plug at the other end. (At least, I used to be able to do this.) in either case, you can only transfer images, and only to the camera roll. You can't plug in an external camera device and control it through the camera kit plug. I've also read that are also apps that let you link to your iPhone through WiFi to display the camera contents on the screen of an iPad or iPod Touch, and then transfer the picture to the iPad or iPod Touch camera roll when the picture is taken. None of these apps are interactive, and you have to take the picture using the controls on the iPhone. You also only directly use the iPhone's camera app, and can't access any other apps that use the camera.
In answer to Eileen's question about what the "camera dark" button option is on the TextGrabber screen, I think it is just the label for the image icon of a camera that sits in the middle of the "photo bttn" button on the main TextGrabber screen. If you slowly move your finger vertically up from the home button at the bottom of the iPhone screen, you'll hear both "camera dark" and "photo bttn" announced (but not at the same time). While touching the screen where VO says "camera dark", try moving your finger to the left or right, and then back in the opposite direction. You'll hear "photo bttn" announced when you are on either side of where "camera dark" is announced. You can double tap when focus is on either of these two button elements, and get th e same results with TextGrabber. Spatially, I thin that the "camera dark" is an icon that sits in the very center of the "photo bttn" button, but that tapping anywhere in the "photo bttn" region on the screen will take a picture. So if you flick to the button controls, you'll hear separate announcements for "photo bttn" and "camera dark"; and if you do a four-finger tap on the bottom half of the screen to move to the last element, you'll be focused on the "camera dark" button. But if you directly touch the bottom of the screen above the home button, you might hear VO announce either button, depending on whether you have touched near the center of the "photo bttn" button or closer to its edge. However, double tapping when focus is on either button gives the same results. The only confusing point is that if you flick through the controls, VO first announces the "photo bttn" button (in the bottom center of the screen), then "album" button (in the bottom right corner of the screen), then "camera dark" button (again in the bottom center of the screen, but occupying a more restricted region. Hope this explanation helps. just my thoughts on this, though. In my experience you can use either of the two button controls interchangeably, and you can also directly touch the bottom center of the screen to locate the button(s) for taking pictures with the camera, or you can directly touch the bottom right corner of the screen to locate the button for using the album to get pictures from the camera roll.
