I just saw that there are already 43 messages to this thread. So it has been quite a popular topic. I am writing this message to you without reading the other answers first. Then I will see how close my answer is to everyone else's. At least for me this app has been invaluable and definitely worth the cost. I use it to read my mail. That's probably the most thing I have used it for. I can quickly go through envelopes which arrived daily and if they are spam I can return them, or if they are addressed to someone else I can return them. If they are addressed to me I can keep them and once I go through the rest of the mail I can later open the ones I capped and quickly figure out what, if anything important they have to say. Additionally I have used this app to help me with my work. If I am working with someone's computer and speech doesn't come up, I can take a picture of the monitor and read whatever error message might be there. Another instance is the computer had booted up and it was at the desk top but the screen reader was not coming on. Taking a picture of the screen told me that the computer was definitely at the desk top with no error. So this told me that things were okay, and gave me a better direction as to which kind of troubleshooting I should try first.another time I was watching TV and the channel kept cutting out. On a whim I took a picture of the TV screen while I was sitting almost 5 feet away at my couch. It successfully read me the error message that came up on the TV screen.you can also use this app if you were out and about and need to take pictures of certain signs. Keep in mind that it will read text and not translate anything that has to do with pictures. It will also not do well if you take a picture of something with really large and fancy fonts, like the front of certain grocery store items.however with the same grocery store items, like cooking instructions, it will do very well. So if you can't remember how much oil to put in those brownies, this Apple definitely help you. There are several other good uses, but these are mainly the ones that I have used this app for.
