Thanks to all for your replies.
I bought the app and I am pretty happy with it. I still have to experiment more but the start is quite good. Thanks alot to all who replied, I know the topic could have raised all kinds of war but every message has been polite and to the point. thanks again.

Andrea

hi,
given financial constraints, I would like to say this:if you are someone who is well 
practised at aiming the camera,if you are someone who is used to OCR apps and getting 
good results,then, Prizmo, certainly, gives the KNFB reader a run  For its  money!but it 
is a little more fussy to use and doesn't have the same guidance that the KN FB reader 
has.textGrabber is also a brilliant app! And it has the added attraction of being really 
very cheap!indeed, particularly with envelopes or upsidedown text et cetera,I often flick 
from KNFB reader to one of the above two and get good results!however, I did already 
owned these two apps so it costs me nothing more to do this.One thing is certain though, 
the KNFB reader has enabled many many more people to get passible if not excellent 
results, whereas, before, they simply didn't.so, turning to the original question 
"is it worth it?"you hath to know yourself and your own capabilities to answer 
this one.if you are not an experienced iPhone/OCR u
ser,then, I think, it is worth it especially at this new half price.

just my thoughts, Sandy

I completely agree, well worthit.  Only bought it on Thursday but impressed.

I am reminded of the comments of Herbert von Karajan saying about CD, "all else

It absolutely is and it is by far the best OCR app for a blind person. Before 
it was out a few very experienced iPhone users were very skeptical, but I think 
even those people are all convinced that KNFB Reader blows everything else out 
of the water. At $50 it is a bargain and if you were able to pick up a couple 
of iTunes gift cards in December for 20% off you would in fact now get it for 
$40.

hello!
I can confirm the price drop.
my question is, is it really worth it? I mean there are other ocr on the market 
that cost only a little fraction of this one...
ofcourse they don't have the hints about your position and so on, but, for 
those who hown t knfb reader, do you find you can have really accurate results? 
does its worth all this money?
thanks for the opinions
Andrea

According to Apple Vis the app is half price now.

urrently-reduced-9999-4999

I haven't been able to verify this since I already own the app.  I can't see 
the current price when searching for the app in the App Store.
