Please do, Barry. This sounds like the app for me.

Its like comparing NVDA and Jaws or Window Eyes. Yeah, NVDA is good, but
the paid for screen readers are excellent. Although you can get some good
free OCR apps, KNFB is very, very good. A new feature that you can turn on
is to assist with getting your phone level. It vibrates until you have it
square on. Little things like that make this the best OCR in my opinion.
Oh, and the results are excellent.
I was lucky enough to buy it when it was on half price offer. Ill keep an
eye out for another sale deal and let the list know if it comes again.
Cheers

Ive been intending to purchase KNFB OCR (sorry, Im sure Ive got the
initials rouned the wrong way). But this is about £70. Ive just read this.
Is it any good? Has anyone else tried it? How does it compare with the paid
OCR apps?
