I know that Jim Gashel and Mike Hingson are both iPhone users. I expect it to come at some point. What I have read from mike is that at this time it is not possible to achieve the functionality of the KNFB reader on the iPhone because Apple does not give developers enough access to the camera API.

Hello, How many iOS device users are willing to pay the $1000 that KNFB Reader charges for the KNFB Reader on the disappearing Nokia Symbion platform? I personally get good enough results with Prizmo, and it was only $10. It took me quite a while with lots of practice to become effective with Prizmo.
