Hello, I have read the same comments. I find them hard to believe considering I get the same conversion quality from Prizmo that I use to get from KNFB. Also, they could use the video feed to help line up the page before switching to the still camera for the picture.
If the comments were true, one would expect significant improvement from programs which supposedly use the camera in the ways they are requesting. Serotech's DocuScan Plus claims it uses such in its desktop camera, but I do not see any improvement over running the camera with ABBYY Fine Reader, so find the argument rather spurious.
