Re: Full Article: iOS 11 public beta: What it does for the iPhone - CNET

Prizmo Go is the best OCR App I've seen so far. I don't care about Samsung because I've tried out their phones and didn't like them that much, besides they use old galaxy talkback, etc etc. They just want a medal for accessibility that they haven't earned. On 6/27/17, David Chittenden

Re: Full Article: iOS 11 public beta: What it does for the iPhone - CNET

Hello, I wonder if it might encourage Apple if it is brought to their attention that the latest Samsung 8 smartphone has OCR built-in. After all, the companies do compete with each other. Until OCR is brought native, there is KNFB Reader (for a significant cost), or Prizmo Go (for no cost)
