RE: KNFB reader with the 7 Plus

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I had a 6S and now I have a 6S Plus and I guess unless somebody has access to 
all four devices (6S/6S Plus and 7/7 Plus) and did a very objective test with a 
variety of material in the same lighting conditions it is probably impossible 
to say if there is a significant difference. Yes, the camera on the 7 and 7 
Plus are improved over the 6S and 6S Plus and the 6S does not have optical 
image stabilization, but I have a very steady hand and a good sense of holding 
the phone straight and in the correct height and I've been getting great 
results with both the 6S and 6S Plus. I've never been able to notice much of a 
difference between these two phones even though, as I said, the 6S Plus does 
have the optical image stabilization. As for speed the 6S Plus starts reading 
very quickly, but of course one would expect this to be even a bit faster with 
the newer phones, but is it faster by half a second, a second, 2 seconds? Even 
if it is 2 or 3 seconds which it probably is not then who really cares. In 
conclusion I would say that how well you learn to use it will make much more of 
a difference. There are a few people on the list who report they just can't get 
good results and I would hazard a guess that somebody who has a problem with it 
will get worse results with a 7 Plus than somebody who is good at it would with 
a 5S or even an iPhone 5.


Regards,
Sieghard

On the other hand, I have a 7 plus, and the results are remarkably accurate and 
lightning fast.
I do not have access to an iPhone 7 with which to compare, but I am sure happy 
with the results from the 7 plus.

Thanks. That's pretty amazing, considering how huge the Kurzweil Reading 
Machine was when I was at university in the early 1990s.

Re: KNFB reader with the 7 Plus

I have a 7, and I have had great results doing things like scanning packages to
