that was what they did in the demo. Not only from 20 feet away, but from off a screen. also Jim Gashel said he had used it to read the screen on his kendel. ----- Original Message ----- From: Feliciano G To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2014 5:44 PM Subject: Re: KNFB Reader App
Other platform OCR applications cost over $200. This is not priced too high if it competes with the other OCR applications. I am curious on what it can really do. I hear it can OCR text from 20ft away.

However, ultimately the market, as it always does, will decide. I know some will purchase it at this price. If enough people don't, then the folks at KNFB will have to make some decisions about the price. If enough people buy it at $99.00, then the app will likely remain at that price for some time.

They must be on some pretty amazing drugs to think people will pay that much for something that is only faster by a few seconds than apps like TextGrabber or Prizmo. Just my opinion.
