Re: KNFB Reader, First Impressions

Ar, good to know KNFB Reader works on the 4s or be it slower. My impression was they wasn't going to support the 4s for the time being, at least officially. So this is reassuring news that it does in fact work. On 18 Sep 2014, at 18:23, Chuck Dean wrote: > I answered my own question... Yes, the

Hi, I'm no photographer, but I am a math and science guy. If you are saying that taking a landscape picture of a page that is essentially a portrait improves results, that makes no logical sense. The number of pixels lost is on the order of 40%. You lose about 20% on the left and right sides to

Yes, the podcast is really helpful. I don't yet have the app, but I feel like I could explain most of it to someone else, having only heard that podcast. Here's the link: http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/demonstration-knfbreader-iphone On Sep 18, 2014, at 1:29 PM, Jonathan Mosen wrote:

RE: KNFB Reader, First Impressions

I answered my own question... Yes, the KNFB reader will work with a iPhone 4S. I downloaded the app. It is obviously slower... It takes about 5 seconds to process the image, but so far, it is working well. Chuck -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. Al

I read the app description which says it is compatible with the iPhone 5and 5S. I remember they said it would work with the 4S, although the performance would be reduced. Does any one know if this app will work on my 4S? -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone
