Dear amar, Regarding the accuracy of knfb, till now I am although not fully satisfied but it makes your work at travelling less dependent especially to read the instructions on the product packaging objects, reading menus in restorants etc. so far I have tried only these experiments and let you know about the documents scanning results soon.
About the new handsets compatibility, I am not sure that whether they have added new handsets as I had purchased old model of n82 from my friend for this purpose. I shall be more keen to get your exact feedback regard to instance of inaccuracy while using the knfb reader so that I can experiment myself and tell you about it. So far of course, I could get the accuracy level up to 63 to 67% but I think something is always better than nothing and there may be ways of improvement methods in scanning but since I am new user would still like to explore all the features. For more information you may visit their website for the latest releases wich may contain addition of new compatible handsets.
