The original question asked about image based PDF's, so I suspect OCR
will be involved, but of course, there's no harm in trying iBooks.

It is worth a try.

Have you tried to open the PDFs in iBooks?
I know it can read some PDFs, but I am not sure if the type you are
talking about will work.
Just a thought,

You need to use an OCR package. Voice Dream Reader is not an OCR package.
Prizmo can OCR images from your camera roll. For this solution to work, you
need to get the PDF page image into the camera roll.
1) Open the PDF file. I do this from directly in mail.
2) Press home and power buttons at the same time to take a screen shot of the
first page of the image. The screen shot will be the last photo in your photo
album. If there are more than one page in the PDF file:
3) use a three finger flick up to advance the PDF image to the next page.
Follow steps 2 and 3 until pictures have been captured of the entire PDF.
4) Open Prizmo and select text.
5) Select the OCR from image option.
6) Remember how many images you captured and count back that many images, or
start with an empty photo book. Follow the prompts to OCR the images and save
the resulting text files. You will get a separate file for each page.

Hello all.
I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to take an image based pdf file
and turn it in to text from an IOS device? I've got text books from the college
that come as image based pdf files and would like to be able to read them on my
iPhone 5 or iPad 2 instead of the computer. I can do this, but that requires me
to use a computer first to OCR the images of the pages and then save them as
text or rtf files. It'd be nice to skip this step if possible, and would allow
me to study from an IOS device more effectively.
Does VoiceDream maybe do this?
Thanks for any opinions and suggestions.
Matthew Campbell.
