[nabs-l] Best OCR Apps for the iPhone?

[Hope Paulos]

People have talked a great deal about Prismo. I've never tried it. I heard
that text detective is also a good app and say text, and doc scanner.

Subject: [nabs-l] Best OCR Apps for the iPhone?

Hi all,
I got an iPhone about two months ago and I have heard there are some good
apps for reading printed text (mail, handouts etc.) Do any of you have
suggestions regarding the most reliable OCR apps to get? One issue I have is
that I have really bad aim when taking photos with a phone camera, so I
would like to get one that is highly accurate and/or that provides
viewfinder feedback.
I have heard that VizWiz (an app that will send a photo of something to a
human reader who will send back a translation within a few
minutes) is good, but I would like to use a software app so I don't have to
wait.
Apologies if this is slightly off-topic, but I figured that many blind
students have iPhones and could benefit from having a free or low-cost app
to use when reading in-class handouts and other printed documents.
Thanks for any assistance!
Best,
Arielle
