To spaek frankly, I am not impressed either. Text Detective doesn't get me much better results either. The only conclution I can come to is that no matter what I try, I'm just not aiming the camera lense quite right. Maybe that scan box thingy might be a good idea, at least as a learning tool

It sure doesn't work well on an iPad Mini. I gave it a try and even while holding it really still, it kept vasalating between "No page detected" or "Ready to scan" but most of the time if I got anything at all, it was a total mess! I don't think this app will get much use from me. I'm not impres

Hi, It usually says "no page visible" within a split second of saying "page detected". Some of the scanning results have been far better than before whereas others have been equally bad.Sent from my iPhone On May 16, 2013, at 3:40 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > When you get the iPhone above w

The tones will play until it has a good shot then it will take the picture. The higher the tone the better the chance it can take a shot. Chris E-mail and Facebook: challswor...@sky.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/@christopherh40 Find my blog at challsworth2.wordp

When you get the iPhone above what you're scanning, have you been double tapping the screen, being very careful to hold it as level as possible when it says it's detected the page? If it doesn't make that picture taking sound, you haven't done the picture. Regards, Gigi On May 15, 2013, at 4:

I have still not been able to get it to fully work with the update, but it may just be I'm not doing something right. I get the text prompts about orienting the page, and once its right, I press Take Picture. Usually it doesn't do anything or just gives tones, and I'm not sure what the tones mean
