Hello Richard,
thank you very much for suggestion and instructions.
In my previous e-mail I forgot to mention I do not need to scan text
from a page.
I get a status on FB and the status has a photo with text.
I save the photo on my phone and all I need is just
to read text from the saved photo and that's all.
I hope it makes sense now.
Thanks.
With kind regards,
Maria

I doubt anything will do a very good job since the background is not clear, but
you might Give iDentifi a try. It is free and can also be used to identify
items with pretty good descriptions, etc.
When you download the app, double tap on settings,
then double tap on mode, then double tap on text.
Then find the done button and double tap.
There are several steps to getting the picture.
At some point you will have to give permission for it to use the camera.
Then, find the take picture or take photo button and double tap.
Then, toward the bottom of the screen will be another take photo button.
Don't double tap on that until you are ready to take the picture.
You need to hold the phone about 10 to 12 inches above the page if it is a
standard full page and have the camera pointed roughly at the middle of the
page.
Then take the picture.
You will then have to find the use photo button toward the bottom right.
Double tap on that and plan to wait up to a minute. Be careful not to touch the
screen as you might interrupt it reading your text.
If you find this not working for you, you may need sighted help to get the
camera at the right position.
HTH,
Richard

Hello list,
please, would anyone recommend an Iphone/Ipad OCR app which can recognise text
from pictures?
On FB I am getting manyposts from local and other websites which inform about
events and send invitations and details as photos having texts. I am also
getting local newspaper or ofers from stores as a photo with text.
I am looking for an app, either free or for a reasonable price, which would
recognise and read text from photos.
I know there is KNFB reader available, but I cannot afford it, the price is
quite high.
I also tried tap tap see, but it did not work for me when I was going to read
long text.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
With kind regards,
Maria
