Hello Alex, I will try to give a different spin on the directions, so that you can align the phone's camera propcrly on the StandScan. Think of the oval apeture as a rectangle. For right-handed individual, place the upper right corner at the upper left corner of the apeture. Make sure you don't leave any space on the left side or the top edge of the apeture. The home button will be pointing to the right. By setting up camera this way, there should be about 1/2 inch space from the long edge of the StandScan and the phone. I used a Wicki Stick to mark the position of the phone on the box. I made the lenght of the Wicki Stick the same lenght of the phone and laid it on the back of the phone. This gave me an indicator for good alignment and it help not to move the phone when taking the picture or reading the OCR on the phone. I hope all of this makes sense to you. Contact me off list if you need more assistance.
