Hi Sandy, As the unofficial OCR queen on Viphone *smile*, have you tried Talking Goggles in video mode on something like your birthday card? I am just curious as I am always amazed what this app recognizes.

Hi, I received a birthday party invitation which is like a post-card. It is shiny, the background is floral and purple (mainly) and the script is white and , in places, swirly,. In other words, not something that we can scan as yet. I tried many times with prizmo, using the StandScan Pro plus lights, then without the lights to try and avoid glare. But Prizmo told me that no text could be found. I then tried it with Text Grabber. I did, at least get results, more often than not and discovered something interesting: each time my results were not complete, but different bits of text were identified! This was strange because, if I had been able to amalgamate all my results, I would have got just about all the info. So, if TG could manage this transposition of colour from black text to white and, with difficulty, ignore the confusion of the background, why can't it do the lot, all at one sitting? This is not to criticise Text Grabber, after all, it did better than Prizmo, and, indeed, I was delighted to get any results from this most tricky scan, but if it can do it..... Just my thoughts and here it is, not good, but the best I could get!
