RE: KNFB Reader Flashlight
Hi, If I am using it relatively close to a ceiling light, I find I don't need it. If the room is not bright, which I have no way of knowing until my recognition is not good, the flash is extremely important. When I'm in an area I don't know, I always use the flash in order not to have to take another picture. Having said all that, when possible, I try not to use the flash too much because it can kill the battery quite quickly on my 5S. I guess that's one of the reasons why some people are going for the 6 plus. Ron Danvers -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brandon A.

Re: KNFB Reader Flashlight
I would suggest the Light Detector app for $0.99. You could check the lighting before trying a scan.

Re: KNFB Reader Flashlight
I usually have the flash set to automatic, and the flashlight always on. Even with overhead lights and light detectors, most blind people can't be sure they aren't casting a shadow on part of the page. With the light from the phone, this problem is eliminated and the light on the document is much more uniform.
