Kevin as a matter of interest, do you use a reading stand such as the
giraffe reader or do you just position it?
Thanks for sharing!

Hello, this is the first ocr program I have had on my phone that
actually works. just one thing I used it last night, and for some
reason the voice has changed from Danial to Samantha for the reading
voice any ideas folks. and as for the price yes it is quite expensive
it is the most expensive app I have ever bought. but it is life changing
I don't use that expression lightly. I am well impressed. I have only
had it say it could see all 4 edges of a newspaper it read the article!
the first time in my life I had held a newspaper and read something
from it well impressed.
