Hi Kerri, I think practice is going to be key here. It might be helpful to get a sighted person to help you at first as they can see what might be going wrong. I was finding that I was either trying to take the picture too quickly after raising the phone before the camera had time to focus. Also my hand was shaking as I took the picture when tapping the screen and that would make the picture go blurry.

Hi Everyone: I am still having a little trouble with KNFB Reader. Last night, I went to my parents house and tried using the KNFB Reader there. I did get it to successfully scan a flat letter, but I have a bunch of paperback books I really want to read that I was hoping I could sort of use the KNFB reader to read. I went through the archives on this list and I read how a few people successfully got results with paperback books but I'm still having a lot of trouble with paperback books. I also have not gotten the tilted guidance to stop vibrating at all. By reading the archives, people are saying it is best to hold the phone in landscape mode...what does that mean? Also, people said it is best to hold the phone 10- inches or so above the page...how high is that? I guess I'm just feeling frustrated because I still don't think I am doing it right. Every once in a while I get good results but usually I end up holding the phone close to the page and yet to get the best results you are supposed to hold it 10 inches above the page but I have no idea how high 10 inches is and I still have not gotten the guidance to completely stop vibrating. Have you been able to get good/accurate results on a standard, gently used paperback book? For someone like me who is having trouble, would purchasing a standscan be best? Has the standscan made it easier to get accurate results? Would a standscan help with my wanting to scan and read a paperback book?
