OneStep Reader App Reviews

This is a great app for the visually and pay her. My only issue with this app right now, is that when you select Martha page document it does not let you type multiple pages only the first page. Please fix this problem. Will write a five when you fix them up to page document selection. Thanks.

an excellent app. Does exactly what it says it will. four stars only because there is no trial and because of a few minor bugs which should have been found before release.

This is currently ny number one app and i would encourage ecery blind person who wants access to printed material to purchase and downloadit. It will take time and patience to learn but it will be well worth it. It is also worth ecery penny. Dont let dollars be a stumbling vlock for you to purchase this app.

Awesome app. Extremely handy & helpful.

I am a blind person for the first time ever I was able to open mail and have it read to me I am so thankful to have this app

The user interface for KNFBReader Great compared to Prizmo. When comparing theKNFBReader app with other apps for more complicated documents it is superior. If youre scanning regular letters, thePrizmo App or TextGrabber plus translator will suffice. The advantage is thatKNFBReader Will also OCR text from the computer screen. Definitely worth the money even if you dont have any discounts by using gift cards are waiting for it to be on sale. This is not a biased opinion, it is based on comparison and experience. @TheBlindMan12v

wow. This single app is a life changer for blind people. it recognizes text extremely accurately and quickly. its far faster than using my flatbed scanner with kurzweil and as fast or faster than open book with the pearl doc camera. I have taken twenty or so pictures since downloading, even of my computer screen, and have been continuously amazed with the results. if u are debating getting it, dont. Its the real thing. Its what we have been waiting for! nfb and good old ray have done it again.

I have used several OCR applications on different platforms. Some of them worked well but on iOS, I have generally had very poor results with them until KNFB Reader came along. I stuck a regular office memo under the phone and gave this app a try and it read the memo almost perfectly on my first attempt. My camera technique isnt all that good either. So I must say that these guys hit one out of the park with this one.

I have tested this on multiple documents with amazing accuracy. Works great on 5C running 7.1.2. However not good on iPod 5 gen. on iOS 8. I think its the fault of iOS 8, not the app!

Fast, accurate, good feedback about what the camera can see, great braille support. Faster multipage scanning than the competition. The elegance of the interface and quality of results may justify the price tag if you have to deal with a lot of print. Ill give it five stars when I can pan the camera and it will alert me to text in my environment in realtime.

I bought it, used it, and love it. Talk about a product that is simply amazing. Its everything it was promised to be.

I have performed several scans that included different types of materials and conditions. I will tell you that no other app I have used even comes close to producing the results of the knfbReader app. I have used Prizmo, which is the only other app that comes close. Yes, the knfbReader app was designed with the visually impaired or blind person in mind and that despite what some will say is its strength. I do not believe this app costs $99.99 just to overcharge a certain segment of the population, the “blind tax,” but instead is a high-quality app that delivers on the features and performance promised. I could say quite a lot, but it really comes down to one thing and that is for you to decide if you want to work hard or work smart. Yes, you can pay less for apps that will do the job, but these other apps require a lot more fiddling to find the best position for extracting enough legible text to figure out what you got. People have used stands of all types to get the job done. With the knfbReader app you do not really need any stands etc. If you have one it will certainly help and especially when doing batches of image captures using the automatic mode. Otherwise, you can simply hold your device about eight to 10 inches above the material and nearly instantaneously get your results. I have absolutely no regrets paying $99.99 for an app that meets a need and I can remove all other apps. BTW, when I figure the cost of apps and a couple of stands I have purchased in trying to find a good solution I probably spent more than the cost of the knfbReader app. :)

If youve been waiting for the greatest OCR software ever created for the blind, wait no more!!! Best application ever!! I have been taking pictures of every thing that contains text, and it has been reading it back to me with high accuracy! Absolutely worth my $100.00

This app is well worth the price. It is phenomenal and works terrifically.

This is the app I have been waiting for for the past five years. And it has not disappointed. I have used the previous K NFB reader mobile device and this app for iPhone is much easier to use. It is intuitive. It takes pictures and reads the print from round spice bottles, small round medicine files, on the back of plastic pouches, in glass picture frames, off of my laptop computer screen. I have many scanner apps on my iPhone and none of them are accurate. But this one is accurate, at least 98% of the time. Love it. Love it. Love it.

this app is absolutely phenomenal. This is the first OCR app Ive ever been able to get to work on my iPhone. It gives phenomenal results, there also accurate, and it works quickly. Amazing job. personally, I would recommend this app to any student who is in school.

What an incredible app it works so great you can read this is a changer for blind people but actually nothing is changed for blind people its outrageously overpriced so thats meant to be purchased by folk rehab and other government agencies so that blind people have to get permission or they either need to be independently wealthy before they purchase it this price is unconscionable but hey theyre making money are they

I have used several OCR apps in the past, by far, this is the best that I have ever seen. The accuracy, and speed are amazing. Tasks as complex as sorting mail to reading a book for pleasure are all conducted with ease.

Having used two previous incarnations of the KNFB Reader (original and cell phone), I am delighted that KNFB has been able to bring their quality to the iPhone so quickly. This new version is extremely fast, and the field of view report and conversion feel immediate. As a mobile app, another huge leap forward for independence for the blind and those who have any number of issues reading. Surely deserving of some major awards. Wow, how great.

This is, by far, the best OCR app. When I can get it to work, the results are excellent. Unfortunately, getting it to work is a bit of a challenge. First, the field of view report does not give consistent information. I’ve run the report multiple times in the same position and get different results each time. Additionally, sometimes the field report fails to give voice feedback, and you have to dismiss the app and relaunch. When performing OCR, you often only get portions of the text; this even occurs when the field report indicates that alignment is perfect. Just as in the field report, OCR often fails to provide voice output. These flaws are a shame, since the app works well when it *does* work.
