It was interesting to read the announcement from NFB about KNFB Reader that
you, or someone else forwarded the list yesterday. The results of this scan are
indeed the difference between day and night.
I did find that the scan using Scanner benefited greatly from
the page being as flat as possible, one of the bigger challenges for the kind
of stuff I typically put down on a variety of surfaces, including flat level
ones. Pages buckle or curl at the edges and require a weight or a hand to hold
them flat.
That brings me around to where to order the Fopydo Stand which
I swear Amazon used to sell but no longer does. I need that hand to hold papers
flat.

Subject: FW: [VoiceDreamProducts] sample of a scan done on the Fopydo Stand
with KNFB Reader and Voice Dream Scanner
OK, below are two pages, the first one scanned with KNFB Reader, so it says
KNFB before the resulting file contents.
The second one is from Voice Dream Scanner, with VDS before the contents of the
file.
I did both as PDF documents.
Both were done on the Fopydo Scanning Stand.
This was done in my office room in our house with no lights on, so it was left
to the apps to deal with lighting.
Both had the flash on.
The phone never moved on the stand and the scans were taken about 1 minute
apart.
You be the judge.

Instructions Page 1 - Scanning Stand for the Blind and Visually Impaired
The stand is designed specifically for the blind and visually impaired. It
facilitates
reading documents and books aloud using smartphones or similar devices and a
text-to-speech app like KNFB Reader. The stand is delivered folded and page
2 of
contains unfolding instructions that should be read before the first use.
To use the stand place the device on the top shelf of the stand with the camera
facing down through the half-circle cutout at the center of the ledge of the
top
shelf. Then, slide the document between support wires below and use the app to
read text.
Support wires are constructed of a square profile wire and click into place in
90
degrees intervals. Support wire profile is designed to slide in-out in folded
position
and to stay in place in unfolded position to hold the weight of the mobile
device
when wires are extended.
Support wires may be extended from the stand by up to 3 inches for reading
documents larger than US letter or international A4 size (default when wires
are
not extended).
Support wires should be extended only in folded position. Symmetrically placed
circular cutouts in the stand's wire channels allow to extend both the left and
the
right support wire equally.
