Hello, I have had really good luck with Looktel Money Reader, There is also another app called Money Reader that seems to be more responsive then Looktells version, It is called Money Reader, the developer is Voiceye Inc. Give it a shot it works in the same fashion as Looktell, no needing to press any buttons, just point the camera at the bill you want identified.
