Hi Krister, We all have different abilities. I think you have mentioned several times before that using the camera isn't your strong point, but then again you seem to successfully use the Fleksy keyboard and that is something that I am not able to master in the time I think should be required to learn it. Also, keep in mind that for the edge detection to work well there has to be a bit of contrast, e.g. if you have a mostly white piece of paper with some text and put it on a white desk or table it may not work so good.

Well, just to balance it all i can not get the knfb reader to work. No matter what i do, how i twist my hands, the phone or the paper, i’m never ever able to get all for corners of a document visible and i am not able to get a full documents worth of text out of the reader. Luckily i only use it for scanning mail and then only when i know my home help will come and help me sort the mail out afterward so then it doesn’t matter if what comes out is gibberish as long as i can get a sentence or two out of it to know where the mail i scan might come from. /Krister > 16 maj 2016 kl. 16:47 skrev Esther Levegnale <[email protected]>: > > Hi, All! > > I also would like to sing great praises for the KNFB Reader app. For years, > I've used the Open Book with the Pearl camera on my PC and thought that was > the cat's meow.
