Andrew, I would suggest that you see a demo of the product before you buy. take along the sort of stuff you think you'll want to scan and test drive it. The scanning will never be as accurate as a flatbed scanner, I believe because of the effect of ambient light on the material to be scanned. Try before you buy.

Sounds like it would save me waiting for a support worker to read cooking instructions for me. Is there much setting up to do with it please Barry? Many thanks for your help I do very much appreciate the help.

It's easier with a mobile that has the camera in the middle of the phone. One tip I read was to place the phone on the item to scan then lift it straight up about 12 inches.
