Would it be worth it if I plan to just scan mail I receive in the post?

Hello,
I totally agree with Ann. Even though I have light perception, the accuracy of
using either Prizmo or Text Grabber with the StandScan pro will give one the
structure of where to place the phone to get the best results. I used it today
and had no problems scanning over 50 pieces of documents trying to get ready
for taxes. With the LED lights built into the StandScan, it takes the guess
work out of not having enough light or casting a shadow. If you are seriously
thinking about scanning lots of stuff, this is the way to go. HTH.
Best,

Hello Teresa,
For someone who's never had sight, the StandScan Pro makes the process of
scanning with the iPhone so much easier as it provides the ideal conditions for
taking a good picture. For the hassle it saves, it's well worth the money.
After all, you get the whole bundle for less than $40 which is cheaper than any
flatbed scanner.
Cheers,
Anne

For me, the process of using OCR apps in iOS has always been a challenge. At
best, I can get a few words, just enough to find out what the object is. I
notice that I've gotten better with practice, but it's very rough going for me.
I don't know how much of my difficulty has to do with never having had sight,
but I'd imagine that generally, it's easier for those who've had sight, because
finding the best visual situation for this task comes more easily to those
who've had sight. Of course, I'm generalizing here, and I may be wrong. after
all, I haven't done a formal study of this issue. :) I am continuing to
practice, and I'm patient, but I have to say, the experience is certainly not
like using a flat-bed scanner with an application such as Kurzweil 1000 or Open
Book.

TextGrabber and Prizmo both do an excellent job on OCR. If you have a steady
hand and a good understanding of how to ensure that the page is visible to the
app, they can both be used free hand very successfully. Several of us have
posted our results from these apps here to show what can be done. You need good
lighting, and if, like me, you have no light perception, the Light Detector app
is a must as well.
Cheers,
Anne

I bought text detective and I'm rather disappointed.
It is useless enough to leave me skeptical about any iPHone scanning solution.
Based on results, do any of you think I should reconsider, and give Textgrabber
a try?
It's not too expensive, which is a noter reason to be skeptical. How can this
be developed and sold for $5 and change, and be what we expect it to do?
Some times you do get what you pay for.
