How did you flatten the paperback book for scanning with the KNFB Reader?

I tried scanning about twenty pages of a paperback book. I used my scan stand
pro.
It worked very well... About 98% accurate.

Jonathan, have you tried books? If you have a paperback, could you do
two pages at once if it's a small format paperback, and what it separate the
pages? Or is that asking too much?

Hi Brian, I don't own any scanning stand. In my view, if one
needs to resort to another gadget to get a good picture, I may as well go to
the office and use my scanner. What I'm after is great results with the device
I carry with me in my pocket, with no additional stuff. And KNFB delivers
better than anything else I've used.
In the past, Prizmo was my favourite app for OCR on the iPhone,
but KNFB is giving me far superior results on the first try and it's really
fast.

Jonathan,
So is the KNFB reader app now available in the app
store?
Also, are you using a stand to take the scans/pics, or
are you just holding the phone over the page or item?
Thanks so much, this is very encouraging!

Subject: KNFB Reader, First Impressions
I've spent the last half hour or so playing with KNFB
Reader on my iPhone 5s. I couldn't be more impressed.
I read my son's school report, which it got word
perfect even when it came to reading tables. It read a glossy pizza menu fairly
well. It read the page of a book perfectly, and it read a letter I received in
the mail. The feedback one gets via vibration to line up the picture is
incredibly helpful. You can use the field of view report if you need to for
even more information about camera positioning and angle.
And, it's fast. Very fast, between taking a picture and
getting speech.
It's early days but this has actually exceeded my
expectations. Certainly it's possible to use other apps, but I've found nothing
this simple, fast, or accurate without any additional aids. Outstanding stuff.
