I think the question is not about a specific stand, but which one will offer the largest area of scannability based on the position of the phone. Since most offer optimal placement for the phone I'm fairly certain that which one is used will make very little difference because of the flexibility of the camera and the ability of the software to scan a somewhat larger area than what might be expected.

He is hoping to offer the attachment for around $10. So, between the $12 for the stand and $10 more for this nifty attachment, plus any shipping, you will have a very powerful scanning setup. I have seen the first two prototypes of the attachment and am excited about it coming to the market. I have no connection to the company. I just happened to get in touch with him early on in his development and got to put in my two cents worth. Stay tuned.

It is rather cheap and easy to use. Best regards Annie.

I listened to the applevis podcast where they demonstrated using KNFB Reader 2.0 in stand mode and they used it with a bluetooth keyboard. It got me to thinking that it must be impossible or difficult to control the app since the iDevice will be face down. What do you think? I wasn’t really wanting to buy a stand and a keyboard. :) Thanks, Christina On Aug 20, 2015, at 10:39 AM, Jonathan Mosen <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Don, I don't know if it's the best or not, but I bought a Fopydo, which is very reasonably priced, and am happy with it. I travelled with it recently and it was great for quickly dealing with things like the compendium in my hotel room.
