But it might be apples and oranges. Knfb reader is supposed to have text editing abilities in addition to scanning abilities. I certainly can't edit text with text detective. Can it be done with text grabber? In other words, though it is an app for the blind, it may have a feature set that makes it unique among scanning apps.

This can, in the worst scenario send a signal to developers of main stream apps that they need not make the effort to make their apps accessible, the blindies have their own special apps that they use so why bother, and once again we'll be directed to the situation that we said we didn't want when the IPhone first became accessible. Yes there's a choice and all that and people choose what ever tool fits the task and all the rest, but some day there won't be this choice because we repeatedly send signals to the developers that their effort ain't gonna satisfy us and that the only things that will are the "blind ghetto" solutions. (note the quotes) That's my rant for today, now off my soap box and put on a flame protective suit because i sure gonna need it after this. /Krister > 7 jul 2014 kl. 20:15 skrev AppleGourmet <[email protected]>: > > About five years ago, one of my patients had purchased the KNFB Reader with the Nokia phone for about $1250. He was really thrilled with his purchase and thought it was great value. He has been using it for the past five years and it's been working flawlessly! The results of the OCR have to be seen to be believed! I was shocked to hear that this app now sells for $99!! It's a steal! It's an outstanding application! Comparing it with other available OCR apps is like comparing chalk with cheese. > > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
