Hello everyone,

I was sorely tempted to chop off the last two words of the subject but wasn't 
sure if I was allowed to do that since I"m not a list moderator.

I went to the Applevis site and read all the posts about TextDetective.  They 
were very informative.  I have two  questions, however: 

1.  I have an iPhone 4S which has a front and rear camera.  Which camera does 
TextDetective require you to use?

2.  Apparently, the program will only read material if it is right-side-up, 
from the camera's perspective.  Has this been addressed in the most recent 
update?

My best to all of you, and thanks!

Mike
