is nothing at the top, then it says "from".  Pam.

Subject: [PhonesForTheBlind] voice App for iOS announcement

This is an app developed a few years ago by a 15 year-old. I just received 
the following from him and downloaded the app. While it doesn't do all that 
Voice Dream Scanner does, it is quite impressive. Read on and act quickly on 
June 14, 2019.

Hey Richard,

I'm really sorry about the bad experience you had with the last version of 
Voice. Four years ago, when I had released the app, I was only 15. 
Unfortunately, since I was still learning programming, the app itself was 
still very buggy and crashed a lot. I tried my best to give you guys the 
best features for free but my programming skills were not good enough at the 
time. As years went by and it was time for me to apply to colleges, I slowly 
stopped being able to support Voice and it slowly stopped working. Over the 
last year, I have received thousands of emails from you guys saying the app 
is completely broken.

I've got huge news today.  Over the past few months, Voice was completely 
remade from the ground up, with the best and latest technology. The OCR 
quality is spectacular, even on completely distorted, badly focused, and 
incorrectly angled photos with poor lighting. There are new voice control 
features. You can simply say the words "Take Picture" and Voice will take 
pictures for you. You simply say "Read" and Voice will start reading it to 
you. Voice will give extremely accurate field of view reports when it 
detects a document in front of you. It works in over 30 major languages and 
gives you the most powerful OCR reading tools right in your pocket.

I have decided to make the app free for only the next 24 hours. After that, 
it will be on the app store for $4.99. I have always wanted to keep this app 
free for you guys, but the problem is that maintaining the app becomes very 
difficult when it is completely free. I would rather give you guys an 
extremely low-cost app that is the absolute best and regularly supported, 
rather than a completely free app that is mediocre and unsupported. Those of 
you that install it while it is free will also get future updates for free. 
Let your friends know so they can also get it while it's free!

.

I hope you find this application helpful. I am open to any suggestions and 
feedback, feel free to be as brutal as you like. I will try to respond to 
your email in less than an hour. I plan to bring even more exciting stuff in 
the very near future. Thank you for your time.

“The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of 
flying.  There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack 
lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." --Douglas 
Adams, from Life, The Universe and Everything, p.59

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't 
have any." -- Alice Walker
