The negatives are really a personal opinion deal. I am not as successful
or accurate with iOS devices using OCR as others because I don't seem to have
the knack of exactly where to hold the phone. I find Text Detective easiest to
use because it seems more forgiving than the others. I have scanned a variety
of things form mail to pamphlets to books. I have not tried boxes or such.
