Hi,

Yes, licences are still available to purchase if you have a compatible
phone.

All the best

Hi.

Yep, i've given their OCR app a go and to be honest it seems not to 
work. It keeps complaining that my phone is not level no matter what 
angle i have the phone when the guided scan option is selected. I did 
once manage to get to the option to scan by holding my phone virtically, 
but when i clicked it it complained that my document wasn't in the frame 
despite the fact that i was pointing my camera straight at the sign in 
question. i tried various distance amounts as well as various angles to 
try and get the document in focus, but there's no audible feedback to 
let you know if the document is in the frame, or how to move the camera 
to achieve a good image.  This brings to mind another question. Although 
the Beyo CBS reader you sell has been discontinued, are licenses still 
available for purchase? If not, has the discontinued version been made 
free for use by Beyo?

All the best,

Mo.
