Hi Sieghard
I found it through the developper's name. All I got when I searched from KNFB, was Blio. Anyway, it well was worth my effort. Its super. A little bit hard on the battery but I expected that because my apartment is not very bright and I have to use the flash. Don't know yet how it will be in other places. The way to practice is to have the flash on which eliminates the possibility that the lack of light could be the problem. Even when I had it on automatic flash it wasn't as good. I'm sure that if I was right by the window it would be just fine. Of course, using my StandScan Pro would be good but my idea was to not have to carry it around and, KNFB reader is my solution.

A search for KNFB did the trick for me, first result was Blio and then came KNFB Reader. Are you just typing it in and then check the matches or are you typing in KNFB and then double tap on the "Search" button. I find it is often much easier to find things if you tap the Search button and I have gotten used to always doing so.

I searched for KNFB and didn't find anything. Perhaps its not in the Canadian app store yet. I, for sure am getting it when I can find it Ron & Danvers From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 4:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com 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. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
