It also would depend on which phone, which OS, etc.

It really seems to depend on the material that you are standing. I have gotten
100% accurate results with some documents, other documents with delayed
scanning results and not quite so perfect, the field of view report seems to
help a lot.

What are you guys doing to get good results? Me, i got a lot of gibberish and
some readable text but not much. Is there a technique for this? Does the reader
give some kind of feedback when all text’s detected? Anyways now i know that
it’s me and not the app that’s stupid.:-)

I have played a bit today with this app on my iPhone 5S and it really is
pretty good. I just got it to read the instructions on a small bread mix bag
where the text was incredibly tiny and brown on a beige background. The results
were very quick and about 95% accurate! Harry

If and, when I do, I'let everyone know.

Hello Jonathan,
Your first impressions of the KNFB app is encouraging. At this time,
I'm going to have to be on the sidelines until I decide on which iPhone 6 I
will purchase. This is my question to this thread. For those who invest in the
KNFB Reader app and have purchased either an iPhone 6 or 6 plus, it would be
terrific to post on the accuracy of the app in comparison to the phone that
they originally installed the app on. Also, if one can also comment on the use
of the app with the 6 plus in particular because of the optical stabilization.
ANOTHER person read my mind regarding if your use of the app was with the
StandScan or with some other type of stand.
Thanks so much for your first impressions.
Best,
Eileen

Jonathan,
So is the KNFB reader app now available in the app store?
Also, are you using a stand to take the scans/pics, or are you just
holding the phone over the page or item?
Thanks so much, this is very encouraging!

Subject: KNFB Reader, First Impressions
I've spent the last half hour or so playing with KNFB Reader on my
iPhone 5s. I couldn't be more impressed.
I read my son's school report, which it got word perfect even when
it came to reading tables. It read a glossy pizza menu fairly well. It read the
page of a book perfectly, and it read a letter I received in the mail. The
feedback one gets via vibration to line up the picture is incredibly helpful.
You can use the field of view report if you need to for even more information
about camera positioning and angle.
And, it's fast. Very fast, between taking a picture and getting
speech.
It's early days but this has actually exceeded my expectations.
Certainly it's possible to use other apps, but I've found nothing this simple,
fast, or accurate without any additional aids. Outstanding stuff.
