KNFB reader allows you a high degree of control over things like reading speed.
It also give you information on the position of documents in relation to the
camera etc. Additionally you can save scanned material and also create multi
page documents. I’ve used other cheaper OCR apps and KNFB outdoes them all.
It periodically is offered at a reduced price so it’s worth waiting for this to
happen.

I’ve been intending to purchase KNFB OCR (sorry, I’m sure I’ve got the initials
round the wrong way). But this is about £70. I’ve just read this. Is it any
good? Has anyone else tried it? How does it compare with the paid OCR apps?
It’s an OCR app that is free and is Voiceover friendly
