Hi Sandy, Thanks for all of the great info you provide regarding scanning with the iPhone. I just ordered the StandScan Pro with 12 volt adapter and 12 volt battery pack, and upon your recommendation, TextGrabber as well. Can you explain the process of scanning with this app? I made certain English was selected in settings. Are there other settings to modify? Within the main interface, I saw an option foe taking a photo. Is this the first step in the process? Are there any help files or a manual for this app? Thanks for the assist.
