Hello John and all:
Thank you for posting this link to the post describing OCR Now Lite.
I had been holding back on taking a look at this app though this
description has given me the push to give it a go.
Thank you so much. If I like it I will have you to thank for it.

Hi listers,
While reading about the accessible apps for the Iphone, I came across
this review of OCR now. It is written by a gentlemen who uses
voiceover, and I found it both informative and humerous at parts.
For anybody interested, the link is here.

In the Settings app on the iPhone, choose General, Accessibility, and
you can turn off the speaking of auto text. I've done this, as you can
review the choices for auto texts without having them spoken
