How many times are going to be notified about the drop in price for the KNFB reader?? I'm sure we all know it by now. Either change the subject, or change the thread.

Comparing KNFB Reader or any ocr app on the phone and a dedicated OCR
software with a dedicated scanner on the pc is like comparing either
is better to walk some miles to go to the nearest store or take a bus
there.

For me, there are some limitations for both phone apps and pc
software. If you want the portability of a phone, with rather some 80%
chance of a raather accurate result, then KNFB reader is your choice
of OCR apps on the phone. But, if you have lots of time, and don't
mind turning your computer, and spend some time on scanning and
outputting the document, then of course, a dedicate OCR software that
usually cost around $900 with a decent scanner that cost around $300
will be the way to go.

Put everything about the software, hardware, and the technology aside,
I very much believe that how well the OCR works on the phone is very
much depending on how good your image quality may be. For example, i
was playing on my friend's KNFB Reader on a 5 the other day. Both of
us took the same picture of the same catalog. One of our pictures
showed as no text, and another reads it all from the top to the
bottom. And it was an A4 page with same lighting, on the same table,
etc. The only different is that, he took the picture rather close to
the catalog, with over expose, while mine was about 1 feet away from
the catalog.

Hi, I do have a lot of trouble reading envelopes as well with KNFB reader.
 Any tips on how to do this better would be appreciated.
  Thanks.

    Hi Sandy,


    I was using KNFB Reader this morning to verify the address on an
envelope before mailing. I knew that the orientation was correct, but the
app didn't read it and gave me nonsense. I needed to switch to another OCR
app on the phone and to be honest OpenBook on my PC was the best for this
task. The KNFB Reader app even crashed one time, so I needed to launch it
again. I did made sure that all apps were closed from the app switcher. This didn't make a difference in getting readable text from KNFB Reader. Thought
I would just pipe in on my most recent experience.


    Best,
    Eileen

      hi,
      I also find that Prizmo is better at reading text when it is
upsidedown.perhaps, I have a setting wrong in the reader app, but if the
text is not up the right way I get gibberish. anyone else experiencing this
with the KNFB reader?


      thanks, Sandy

            I would like to remind people that Prizmo is also an excellent
app!it is cheaper and reads the text as soon as it is recognised just as
quickly as the KNFB reader does.however, the interface is a little more
clunky.I find it is a great partner to the K and FB reader.that is, if one
doesn't manage very well, then, the other probably will.


            Just my thoughts, Sandy

              If you are running at least a 4S but I would say a 5 or
higher, it is most certainly worth it if nothing else for the speed and
accuracy.
After taking the picture, on a 5S at least, it begins reading
the text in about 2 seconds.
              You can easily add more pages, etc.
              It does not, as yet, retain the format of the original
document however, but I have high hopes that will be coming in an update.
              But, it also depends on how much scanning you would be doing
whether it is worth it to you. Only you can determine that.

                hello!
                I can confirm the price drop.
                my question is, is it really worth it? I mean there are
other ocr on the market that cost only a little fraction of this one...
                ofcourse they don't have the hints about your position and
so on, but, for those who hown t knfb reader, do you find you can have
really accurate results? does its worth all this money?
                thanks for the opinions

I haven't been able to verify this since I already own the
app.  I can't see the current price when searching for the app in the App
Store.
