What are the pros and cons of these different scanners? I know everyone
likes KNFB Reader, but is there anyone of these that comes close, what
would be the advantage of something like this Giraffe over something like
KNFB Reader? Thanks, sorry for any confusion on my part.

I honestly don't know, and I doubt people have run comparisons, but I
suspect that the KNFBReader flash feature will provide enough life,
making the sort of cumbersome light in the StandScan, indeed the need to
buy that version, unnecessary. Light is very important, and the flash
invoked by KNFBReader should provide enough. In some situations you can
use the flashlight invoked by KNFBReader, though this in conjunction with
the flash will usually give you too much light.
Scanning books will be a challenge because of the binding, and I don't
know how books will scan with any stand. Probably at least better
than not scanning them at all, though

Subject: giraffe reader versus stand scan.
hi list.
I have just purchased the Knfb reader. Granted I have only played with
this app for a little while, but I find, given my spatial orientation
difficulty,that I am having trouble positioning the iPhone the correct
number of inches above the page I would like to scan. If I do enough
fiddling, I can manage to get all four edges in the camera's viewfinder.
I have tried this with both a small and large hardback book. I have
used the page that is the straightest for testing.
Given this problem, I am considering buying either the giraffe reader,
or the stand scan. I am leaning towards the giraffe reader, because of
its portability factor, but am wondering if the light provided by the
Knfb readers flashlight,as well as the flash on the camera, are enough
to suffice in most environments? are there situations where the stand
scan, because of its built-in light,would perform better than the
giraffe reader?
how important is lighting to the results of the scanning process?
Thank you very much for your help.
Julia.
