I wasn't a KNFB Reader user on the Nokia platform, but I believe I read
just recently that it got several updates while Symbian was still being
developed and new Nokia phones were still coming out. I'm pretty sure it
was not a one and done application. The fact that KNFB Reader is still
around and coming out with an IOS app indicates to me that they still
want to and will be on the cutting efge for a while yet.

Hi Keith,
I somehow doubt that the KNFB Reader app won't see regular updates. You have
to keep in mind that of course it would not have been updated in years for
the Symbean platform since Symbean has been gone for some years now. This
would be like asking Freedom Scientific to continue to provide updates for
Jaws for Windows 98 or something like that. One should also keep in mind
that prior to Apple and the App Store there really were no app stores per
say. Yes, there were apps for Symbean or Windows Mobile, but there wasn't an
app store in that sense and while I am not a developer I would hazard a
guess and say that it's probably easier to update iOS apps than it was to
update applications for these older platforms.

Thanks, andy.
Well, that gives me pause about this app.
I don't think there's one app I rely upon for regular use that hasn't
undergone regular upgrades, as newer devices are introduced and newer
versions of iOS are released. I'm hesitant to consider investing $99 in what
might be a "one and done" app whose developer isn't inclined towards
maintaining cutting edge functionality with the latest hardware and/or
software developments.

It hasn't been updated in a few years, and the phones it runs on haven't
been manufactured in years.

I'm curious if users of the established KNFB app with the Nokia can comment
on whether and how often the app was upgraded? Was it "one and done" or did
it undergo continuing development?
Thanks. Keith

I don't know about the apps such as Prizmo but when I used the KNFB app on
my old Nokia phone I did on occasion get information off my laptop screen
when the computer would suddenly not come up with speech and find out if I
needed to hit enter or escape or whatever. I also read my XM radio screen at
times. Sometimes you get a lot of junk with the scan but usually I could get
enough information to tell me what I needed to do.

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.
