Hi, I have brought the KNFB Reader and have an IPhone 5. At first I wasn't getting great results but this was me as my sighted partner was getting pretty accurate results when he used it. Now |I'm getting better results. The problem I was having was taking the picture too quickly when I raised the phone above the document before the camera had time to focus. I also found my hands were shaking when I was taking the picture. This is gradually improving and I hope will get better with practice. I have found puting my elbows on a table either side of the document and then holding the phone with the fingers of each hand at either side has helped but does take some getting used too.
