Maybe it is and maybe KNFB Reader does its own digital compensation for that. The fact here is that not that many people have a 6 Plus yet and I don’t think anybody has done a really good comparison with let’s say an iPhone 5 or 5S and a 6 Plus trying to do the exact same scans and so on. Another fact, however, is that a huge majority of the feedback is coming from people with iOS 5, 5C and 5S devices and even some 4S and just about everybody is getting awesome results. This would indicate that KNFB Reader is already working extremely well. If I scan a few pages of perfect print and get basically 100% accuracy then how can it get better? I don’t deny that some blind people maybe are less successful in holding the phone still, but I think there are also many and I would include myself who can probably hold the phone just as still as a sighted person. Of course this is just conjecture on my part since I have not done any studies.

Back in 2007, I worked with a company that was trying to develop a portable OCR system for the blind. We found that sighted people are able to keep the digital camera image extremely stable. Blind people, on the other hand, are unable to do this because we cannot see when the image moves and shakes very slightly. We do not have the feedback from our eyes to perform the automatic corrections which cause the hand not to drift. It is better when we use two hands, but the problem persists. In other words, it is, and will always be, a very big problem.

So using a 5s without this feature, or using a iPhone 6, should not be a huge difference, more than the size of the device.

I bought the 5s when it came out and am not interested in buying another phone in the near future. I’d be interested in knowing if there is a significant difference in functionality of knfb reader between the 5s and 6 or 6 plus. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
