I have a KNFB reader Mobile. It is on a Nokia N82 Cymbian phone. It is smaller than the iPhone. I just did a comparison between Prizmo on an iPhone 5, an iPod Touch 5th Generation and the KNFB Reader Mobile. The KNFB Reader Mobile came in third for accuracy. However, it does give more feedback about the position of the document, whether all the edges are visible etc. But, at this point, the iPhone or Touch with Prizmo is a better solution. Unless someone wants to more easily be able to multi-page documents. Of course, a less accurate multi-page document doesn't interest me in the least.
The KNFB Reader Mobile actually belongs to the agency where I work, I did not buy it.
