I can't imagine going out for a meal with someone and while they read the menu, I use KNFB and headphones. Surely discussing what is on the menu can be social as well. I know we want independence but I have never felt awkward when someone is reading a menu to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Hyde-Dryden" <csdryden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, Without actually going through the settings, I'm pretty sure you can alter the columnisation. Mind you, I've never had much problems with it reading menus.

I have KNF still on an old N86 and the results are still exceptional! I'd take the plunge and get it for the iPhone 5S but I'm reluctant in case it isn't as good as on the N86? Anyone compared yet? I do not want to use one of these stand things as I do not want to be restricted when I'm out somewhere having to set up something else. With my N86, I can simply take a pic of a menu and hey presto, after a minute or so, its reading out to me.

As long as Prismo is working ok for free, I can't justify £65.
