Hi Eleanor,
Tried it once a few weeks ago, and it was way slower than KNFB, so I gave it up.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] OCR on Iphones
I’ve been intending to purchase KNFB OCR (sorry, I’m sure I’ve got the initials
rouned 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
It’s called Voice – Take Pictures on your device & Have Them Read/Spoken with
Fast OCR by Shalin Shah
Take a picture of anything that has words on it, and Voice will read it to you!
Designed for iOS 8, this simple and easy to use interface will let you listen
People with visual impairment or dyslexia can easily snap a photo of anything
and have it read in a matter of seconds. Whether it is a menu at a restaurant,
a medicine label, and expiry date on a milk carton, or even an information
board at a museum.
Download it onto your device from the app store:
