Yes, it lives up to the hype!

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. :)
