To my mind, there are several magic thingies. First, field of view report. Pretty handy as you learn the right distance and alignment for your pictures. Add the tilt sensor, so you can learn when your phone is flat relative to your document.
Second, the KNFB people know that we're pretty lousy at taking pictures. Or, well, "variably talented", perhaps. So they've done a lot of work to optimize pictures to account for all the stuff we can't account for, in as much as is possible. I don't think the less expensive apps do either of these things as well. Of course, if you can find something for less that works for you, by all means use that. For my part, I've tried a couple of less expensive alternatives and have found them wanting. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: 814-860-3194 Mobile: 814-431-0962 Email: bu...@brannan.name > On Sep 20, 2014, at 11:47 AM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <listse...@me.com> wrote: > > All right.
