I know that there is a stand available in the accessories pack for the Blaze EZ which I’m sure would help a lot with OCR work. I’ve been using KNFB Reader for IOS and Android which took a little practise to get going so I can see where difficult concerning the Blaze EZ hand held device would

I have heard the OCR functionality quickly eats up the battery. the unit is twice the cost of the Stream, bookport Plus, or the Plextalk Pocket. It makes more sense to me to buy one of these kinds of units and buy the KNFB reader app for the i Phone for a much better experience. I believe Dane

Hi, It's quite good at least for newer iPhones, or iPads. But then again. If you don't hold the unit extremely steddy you won't get a good or even reasonable result. Brian -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Singing Sparrow Sendt: 5.
