[Blindtlk] Knfb Reader

[Anita Adkins]

Hi again,

First, I learned the secret, which is knowing where your camera lens is 
located on your phone. The lens is generally located on the underside of the 
phone in the corner on the end near the screen lock button, not the home 
button end. I was placing the phone so that it was centered over my page, 
and thus, I was getting bad results. Once I realized to place the camera 
lens rather than the phone over the center, my picture improved 
dramatically. If you place the phone so that it is portrait on a page that 
is aligned in the same portrait way, in other words, place the page as if it 
were going to be read in the normal way you would read a page in a book and 
place the phone so that it, if it were really a book, were going to be read 
in the same way, then you have them both portrait. Landscape would mean you 
turned the page sideways so that its top is on, say, your left, and its 
bottom is on, say your right. What happens in this landscape view is that 
the side of the paper turns into the top, and its other side turns into the 
bottom, and thus, the line from left to right is much longer than in 
portrait since the paper is now much wider in the landscape view. Sorry to 
those of you who understand this, but I am explaining should there be those 
of us who are still understanding what portrait and landscape mean. Back to 
the phone, have both arranged in a portrait way and make sure the camera 
lens found on the bottom corner of your phone is centered over the page. 
When the lens is in the correct spot and the home button is toward the 
bottom of your page, the phone might feel like it is centered over the 
bottom half of the page rather than over the entire page. Hope this is 
useful. Anita

I have purchased my Knfb Reader, but I'm having problems with it. I am 
practicing getting the right setting. When I set it for automatic, sometimes 
it snaps a picture and I'm told that there is no text. It is surely not 
performing like the demostration. I do thin that the app has promise, but I 
need to practice focussing the cameras. I sure wish some one will give us 
some tips on using this app, Jesse
