Hi Andy,
Now that a device has been made, we won't have to wait for the
KNFB reader app to come up with one that would break the bank.
All we will need to is to take this puppy for a test drive. For
now, I am happy with Prizmo or Text Grabber and the StandScan
Pro. Unless there are other features that are not in the other 2
apps, I don't think I will invest in it. I also want to see what
the asking price will be for the app. If it is too high, I will
forget it for now. HTH.

What I find interesting is that I was an avid user of the KNFB
reader with a nokia N82 for several years. one thing that users
often asked for was some kind of stand to stabilize the unit. We
were told by reps from KNFB that such a stand would cost about
$200 and was not needed because of the field of view report, and
the fact that holding the unit was a skill that could be
developed by the user. I'm surprised that nobody thought of
making a cardboard box with one side open.

Neither TextGrabber, Prizmo, nor Text Detective, require
transferring anything to any off-site location. All of these
apps work directly on the iPhone.
Additionally, Prizmo has page detection technologies which tell
the end-user how to move the iPhone to get the page better into
focus.
In 2011, I compared Prizmo (which did not have the page
alignment assist at the time) with KNFB Reader on an N86. We
found Prizmo, on an iPhone 4, was a little better at recognising
most documents in a well-lit room.
On my iPhone 5, whilst using the StandScan Pro for ease of
positioning and to guarantee uniform lighting, TextGrabber is
consistently the quickest app with the best OCR. I find it
compares favourably with FineReader on a computer.
Unless KNFB Reader comes close to mainstream OCR pricing in the
App Store, I for one, will not consider the additional cost worth
it unless they have some uniquely outstanding (game-changing)
technology in the app.

Keith,
If you have ever used the Knfb Reader on the N82 or N95 Nokia
phones, then you would appreciate the added functionality of the
field-of-view report, etc. It helps with document alignment
prior to text recognition, and the Ocr has more error correction
ability.

I'd be curious to learn what this may add to what we already
have with iOS?

Could it be true? KNFB Reader or something similar, may be
coming out as an app. It was posted on Blind Bargains today.
There will be sessions about it at the NFB convention. If you
are going to the convention please keep us posted.
