At this point in time, I'll have to wait and see if someone can try the
app on a ipod touch 5th generation. I also have an ipad mini.

That's an incongruous statement on their part. The 4S's camera has the same
number of pixels as the 5S. Sure the cameras in the new iPhone models have
marginally improved, but the improvements haven't been anything substantial.
Much less important if you're just tryign to scan documents and not take
video or other types of photos. That and what if you've got a Mini or iPad
Air? If currently available OCR apps can work on older phones or tablets for
that tmatter, then that sure won't help convince people to spring for the
KNFB app.

I agree, my ipod touch only has a 5mp camera. This is why I would like to
try before I buy. From what they said in the demo, it won't work as well
with older iphones. From what I understand, this is because the older
iphones don't have the higher quality camera like the newest ones.

I know there will be demos of it, but that isn't the same as making
sure it works for each person. I mean, say it does great scanning
pages, but chokes on envelopes? Most of my scanning is envelopes, but
unless I can test that out ahead of time, I won't know that the app
will not work for me as well as it did for the guy in the podcast.
That's just an example; everyone has different use cases,
requirements, and expectations, and I simply can't understand why the
developers of this app refuse to adopt a simple model that would let
each potential customer make sure the app is what they want and need
before spending all that money.

Alex, it's not as bleak as you portray. Someone on more than one
individual do a podcast and will get a good idea of how the app
really works. After all, nobody has to buy it the first day it comes out.
Using some patients and caution will yield good results in the end.

Regarding an app trial, I think this is pretty clear. @KNFBReader
sent the following tweet earlier today:
@davetaylor2112 Thanks for the suggestion. We will not be creating a
"freemium" app. This only causes confusion and lowers expectations.
So there you have it. Cough up your hundred dollars based on others'
experiences, or don't get the app; no trials for anyone. I
personally find this to be ridiculous and a bad decision, but what do I
know?

About five years ago, one of my patients had purchased the KNFB
Reader with the Nokia phone for about $1250. He was really
thrilled with his purchase and thought it was great value. He has
been using it for the past five years and it's been working
flawlessly! The results of the OCR have to be seen to be believed!
I was shocked to hear that this app now sells for $99!! It's a
steal! It's an outstanding application! Comparing it with other
available OCR apps is like comparing chalk with cheese.
