Hello,

Here is a solution for the iPhone. The 2 OCR apps that work well and are 
accessible are Prizmo and Text Grabber. For best results, these OCR apps 
accuracy is at its best when used in conjunction with the StandScan Pro. You 
can find the StandScan Pro at www.standscan.com. The price is 29. Although 
others have commented on the fact that it is made out of a thick carboard, it 
works quite well. Currently, I don't have access to get the URL for the OCR 
apps, but you can search in the app store for the info. HTH. 
Cheers,
Eileen
