Hi! Its been an interesting year what with one thing and another keeping me occupied and away from my computers and other devices in the main, things are calming down and sorting themselves out, just in time too given my Birthday isn’t all that far away so time to “Splash out” and “Enjoy the toys” again <smile>.
I received my iPhone 6 last week, I really did like my iPhone 5 but I was finding it a little sluggish with IOS 8, the Telco I’m with offered me a reasonable upgrade price to an iPhone 6 64GB model and the sale of my iPhone 5 paid the upgrade price. In some ways I regret upgrading and no, not because of IOS 8 but because of the shape of the iPhone 6. Yes, I’m in the minority as the majority of people prefer the bigger screen but this does make for an iPhone which doesn’t fit comfortably into its home - my buttoned up shirt pocket -. There much to like about the newer iPhone though, it feels nice in the hand, has a better speaker in my view etc. So I have the new iPhone and time to explore the Apps Store for some new goodies and I settled upon the KNFB Reader App. I think that the KNFB Reader App would have to be the most expensive purchase I’ve made through the IOS Apps Store but the outlay was well worth it, I was performing OCR in seconds to a very high standard, the type of standard I expect from OCR packages on my computer systems. I even took the time - with a friends help - to scan an article which appeared in my local paper with astonishingly accurate results - had no choice to scan the article as a link to it online couldn’t be found -. Your OCR work can be exported but the options for this are nicely tucked away and not immediately obvious, you first have to save your OCR work and then go into the “File Explorer”, and from there double-tap on “Edit”, I exported my work to Dropbox where it was available for me to further manipulate and edit on other systems and Apps. These are daly days for the KNFB Reader App, its impressive to say the least so I hope the developers get good feedback and encouragement to continue with their work. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
