[nabs-l] Iphone app question

[Chris Nusbaum]

2 apps which come to mind are Prismo and Text Detective. Both apps have their issues and inaccuracies, however. Were I you I would wait for the KNFB Reader app to come out and then download that, as this app seems to be the most accurate OCR iPhone app yet. If you opt to do that, however, save your pennies; it's going to be $99—an expensive price tag as apps go.
