Re: textDetective versus knfbReader
Well, I went ahead and bought the knfbReader so I will be able to do a comparison. So far all I have done is to confirm that neither can read the blue screen of death on a Windows computer. I also put a linux computer into character mode and neither could read that screen either. That is really what I wanted it for. But having something to read paper documents will be handy as well. By the way, if you are curious, I artificially created the blue screen of death in a Windows virtual machine. I don't actually have ablue screen of death right now.

Re: textDetective versus knfbReader
I have used text detective a lot in the past and I can guarantee you that the recognition is nowhere close to as good as canopy reader. Texted tattoo has limited use but it also has heavy battery drain.

Re: textDetective versus knfbReader
Hi, I have never used text detective but I do use KNFB reader and find it quite useful. I like the OCR and if you get PDF image files sent to you the way I do then you can use KNFB reader to scan and read those documents as well.

I prefer text grabber plus translator over text detective. Text detective is not reliable on my iphone5.

Re: textDetective versus knfbReader
I had text detective for a few years before KNFB reader became available. I got some useful results with it, but never entire documents such as bank statements. I would get bits of them, but not the whole thing. For me, KNFB Reader is definitely worth the price and eclipses Text Detective completely. KNFB reader is designed with blind people in mind, attempting to correct poor images taken by blind people who obviously can't see what they are trying to capture. I guess it depends on how much OCR on printed documents you are intending to do, but for me KNFB Reader has been worth it.
