Hi Ruby,
Thanks for confirming that this app is not up to much; it’s always good to hear
a few opinions, and saves my wasting my time downloading it.
Regards,
Mike

Hi,
I originally thought this would be a cheap alternative iOS OCR app rather
than KNFB or Prismo, however, after installing the app and taking a picture
of simple text, this was not the case. (Incidentally on the App Store Voice
was hard to locate without searching for OCR in the search box.)
The app has a simple layout but crashed a considerable amount of times during
use. After several app restarts and attempting to change settings, the app
did eventually read some text but at a slow speed with no speed control and
only read out text half way down the page.
I found the Voice app very unusable and frustrating

Hi, I tried this some months ago and didn't really find it all that good.
I use Knfb on Ios and android.

I heard about this app yesterday. Apparently it's been mentioned over on
tech talk. It is a totally free OCR app which claims to provide similar
functionality to KNFB. I haven't tested it extensively, but so far can't
seem to get it to produce useful results. Can people try it and report
back? Search for voice OCR on the app store and it should be the first
result. The iTunes link if anyone needs it is:
