Hi Evan, Remember this is a one-time purchase, you are not going to have to pay for updates and so on. I don't agree with Shaf's opinion that it's "definitely not worth the price". I don't need to use it that much because I usually have sighted staff around who can read things to me, but every single time I do use it to quickly read something or even just identify a piece of paper it is worth it to me. I know you said you have a desktop scanning solution, but I think you will find that very often it is faster and just as accurate to use KNFB Reader to read a piece of mail than it is to put it on the scanner, fire up your Kurzweil 1000 and read it that way. OK, maybe I should add here that you need a bit of practice with respect to holding your I Phone at the correct distance and to hold it still. I can take free-hand scans very quickly and reliably whereas a few others on the list have a lot of trouble with that. If you look for some 20% discounted gift cards and then are able to pick it up on sale for something like what it was now which I think was $65 in the States you can potentially get this app for as little as $52. Considering what Kurzweil 1000 or Openbook costs this is a joke and well worth every penny.

Does that mean when my laptop is not talking I could use KNFB Reader to read the screen? If so, that is a major point in its favor.

I use it for menus, books, bus stop signs, computer screens when troubleshooting and..any other printed materials I may need to read while out and about. It's definitely not worth the price, but if you have the money to spend it's a great tool to have and the most accurate and accessible OCR app for iOS.
