Greetings. There have been other OCR apps for free or anywhere from $2 to $15. Granted, these may be apps which work perfectly well, but remember, you get what you pay for. I bought Prismo many years ago and was never really able to get it to work. I later found out that it is an app which gets better each time you use it. Now take the KNFB Reader; there are two buttons in the middle of the screen: take picture, and point of view report. Pretty much all you do is point and shoot, regardless of the paper's orientation. I don't use the app as much as others on this list, but when I have print to read, it works nearly every time.
