Seeing AI That is the precise experience I have. I today used it on some other documents besides the court ones I described, with the same result; KNFB Reader gave much better quality and was much easier to get the document in view of the camera.

I'm getting a bit better at getting the hold steady announcement a little faster--I guess all that practice with KNFB was helpful--but once the pic is processed by Seeing AI, 99% of the time, I get a message about there being no text. It's super frustrating. And since I'm pretty sure Seeing AI's default is to control the flash automatically, and since I do get results on the same text using the short text channel, I have no idea why this is happening.

But, if you do not care about document layout, then KNFB is faster. With the Short Text mode, once it starts reading the page, point the camera to a blank spot on your desk, because the entire point of the short text mode is to read on the fly, so any movement that focuses on other text, or changes the focus on the same text, will be treated as a new scan. It isn't really designed for whole page scanning, that is what the document channel is for. But, if it doesn't work for you, sticking with KNFB makes perfect sense. Scott White, at NFB, tells me that format retention should be in an update this year for KNFB. Something I've asked for since it was released. Here's hoping it finally happens.

So I am using OCR much more. This has given me the chance to really compare KNFB Reader (which I honestly hadn't used much even though I bought it) and Seeing AI. My conclusion: KNFB still beats Seeing AI for scanning print documents by a country mile. Take what is called a "face sheet" for a docket, which contains all the basic information about a case. When trying to do the document channel with Seeing AI, it would continually tellm me that one or more edges was not visible no matter how much I adjusted the phone. When I raised the phone really high and got a "hold steady" it would take a picture but not recognize a bit of text. With KNFB: I center the camera, lift it up, take a couple field of views to orient, take a picture and it reads the sheet almost immediately, with very few flaws at all. In each case I'm using the same camera and positioning it in the same way. I can only conclude, then, that it is a difference in the apps. Seeing AI's short text feature in this case actually worked better than the document channel, for some reason, but typically still gives garbled text ap some points and will also stop if you move the camera even a milimeter. So, I think with a few exceptions I'll be sticking with KNFB Reader. Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
