You can but it takes a lot of practice and not everybody gets good results.

Re: disregard standscan but have another question
Hi Kay, I have seen two such boxes and use one of them regularly. I use the stand scan pro. As far as the boxes themselves are concerned, there isn't much to choose between them, in my opinion. However, where things vary and become important is with regard to lighting. Now, things may have changed with other boxes, but with the stand ScanPro when you use the Mains connector you get 12 volt lighting. Plus, when you buy the stand ScanPro you should choose the twelve volt battery case to go with it. The default in most products is nine volts. This will work in good lighting situations, but for a guaranteed result regardless of good lighting, whether you are creating a shadow by accident, or any other variable, 12 V will ensure a good result. So, I would suggest to you to go with the stand scan pro plus mains adapter and 12 V battery case. Also, the stand scan people are putting little stickers with the box which we can use to easily reposition the phone each time we use it. In this way the stand ScanPro becomes a doddle!

Re: disregard standscan but have another question
Kay, I use TextGrabber and Prizmo. And yes, I get excellent results. Mind you, tables, columns, and difficult layout, may still pose a problem for these OCR apps. Plus, none of them are very good at recognising print on a multicoloured background. But for straight forward text they are really very good. It will depend upon your particular needs. However, these two apps do compliment each other very well. Good luck and happy scanning, Sandy Sent from my iPhone On 19 Dec 2013, at 19:33, Kay Malmquist kay.malmqu...@gmail.com wrote: Sandy, Which app do you use this with and do you have good results?
