Subject: KNFB Reader on iPod Touch Fifth Gen, was: knfb reader on Iphone 4s?
Hello Hank,
I put KNFB Reader on my wife's iPod Touch Fifth Gen today and tried it out
with a couple of documents. The app works on the iPod Touch, but just as
others reported with the iPhone 4S, it is a bit sluggish and slower. You
also cannot turn on tilt control because it uses vibration to indicate when
the phone is not level and the iPod Touch does not vibrate. But in the end I
got what I would call pretty much the same result from doing a scan of the
same page of a flyer with my iPhone 5S and with the iPod Touch.
Now, just as a conclusion I would like to say that I am not taking any
responsibility if you buy KNFB Reader and all you have is an iPod Touch.
KNFB does not officially support that device and all I did was to answer
your question by installing the app and doing a coupl;e of test scans. I can
say that the app runs, it did not crash and it did not tell me that the
device I was using was not supported. But I also think that any app
developer probably has a hard time making an app that runs, for example on
an iPhone 5, 5C, 5S and newer iPhones and not on the 4S unless said app
would require some kind of hardware that is not in the 4S. I don't actually
recall ever reading that a certain app was only supported on the iPhone 5S
and above, usually it is the version of iOS which is mentioned, e.g.
"Requires iOS 6 or later" or "Requires iOS 7 or later".
Regards,
Sieghard

The cayenne FB reader will work on an iPhone for ass. I have an iPhone 4s
and I loaded the KNFB reader on it this morning. It works fine!
The differences is the processor is much slower. You do not get immediate
results. When you scan it takes about five or six seconds for it to start
reading. Other than that it works just as well!
