>From I've heard about that App is that you basically take a picture or maybe you use a video or something like that and then a real person on the other end gives you the information. Frankly, with something like a card number, you could snap a picture of your card and then share it via text message with a friend. Another thing that just came to my head and I have no idea if it would work, would be to take a picture and then open KNFB reader and choose the option that lets you "add picture from library." Really, logically, it doesn't seem like it would work but who knows. Think I'll try it! 
There have definitely been occasions when I have wanted to read a new card. 
Forgot to send this so adding: I just tried taking a picture of the card and then importing the pick into KNFB Reader. The second time I did it, it did read the name of my bank but not the number. If this is a card that you received in the mail and you took it off the heavy paper it was stuck to, it seems to me that that paper may, not sure, but could have the card number written on it. It seems that many years ago, I put that paper in my scanner and got the number using Kurzweil. 
Think I've pretty much exhausted my ideas. Hope you've figured it out by now.

I've never used it but the APP bemyeyes.org might give you the feedback you are looking for.

Hi,
The one thing I can think of is that you could do face time or Skype with someone if you have a phone, which you must since you  tried  KNFB  reader, and then they could look at the card.
