Hi Philip, Yes, something like this could work, but it doesn't solve the problem of distance, light and having reference points and edges which help you to make sure the phone is lined up and square to your text. The Standscan is a great idea and I immediately got a fantastic scan result when I scanned a page of text, certainly way beyond anything I was ever able to get before.
