I also am impressed with the Knfb reader. I listened to Michael Hanson's podcast on the applevis web site. I find the tilt and the field of view report helpful. Before listening to the podcast I was able to scan and find something on a worksheet at work that I was brailleing. Last night I read one of my Nutrisystem dinnners. My pictures aren't perfect but with practice they can get better. I also will find this beneficial at work because ocasionally I will get an image pdf that I can't read in my email and now I will be able to. I'm going to keep playing with it and see how things go.

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. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
