I wonder if you left the bottle right side up and standing on its bottom if
that would make a difference. also if you tried to take a picture where the
lable would be in the center. maybe if you held the camera a little farther
back also might help.

Subject: tips for scanning lables with text detective
Hi all,
I was using vizwiz and taptapsee to find out the what flavour drink I had
in
the fridge. I while I was able to determine the flavour using both these
apps, I thought I'd have a go at using text detective to read what the
rest
of the label showed.
However, this proved difficult. What I do is turn the bottle on its side
so
the label is facing up and position the phone above the label. When I
tried
this with text detective, I kept getting bits of words only. I'm guessing
this is because the bottle is round and therefore the label curves around
to
follow the bottle, but was just wondering if anyone was successful in
reading an entire label on a bottle just by scanning it. I do realise this
must be difficult as it's not a flat surface. I haven't used text
detective
much and just thought I'd try this, but I guess I should stick to flat
paper
documents. Lol
Hope everyone has a blessed day,
Andrew
