Hi Alison

I haven’t used the app you mention, but I do have K-NFB Reader on my iPhone
and think it is very good and worth the money. I have tried other apps but,
in fairness, K-NFB Reader does what it says on the tin. It will even read
Talking Book CDs with a bit of patience.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Brown

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:
