[nabs-l] Iphone app question

I've heard the NKFB reader will cost about $99. When I first 
heard this, I was outraged. But then, I went to a demonstration 
at this year's convention, and it eems to be far more accurate 
than any other OCR app. As someone said earlier in this thread 
said, you get what you pay for. We'll have to wait and see if the 
KNFB reader app is worth the price tag.

Hi John,
The cheapest Iphone ap that will tell you what things say I can
think
of right now is called Tap Tap See.  It's like 9 dollars for 100
pictures taken per month.  I know there's also another one called
Image
to Text.  You can take a picture of the print page and email it
to
yourself.  Anyhow, I'll see what else I can find out for you.
Jahmall, how much will the K NFB Reader cost for IPhone 5S?
Thanks a bunch,
Liliya

 It's not free, but from what I've heard it's the best one so
far.

 Hi,
 This is a great question.  Are there any apps whether they are
free or not
 that will read text for the iPhone 5S? Thanks so much

 Unfortunately there are no free OCR apps that I know of, though
there
 are
 many for fairly low prices.  Keep in mind, however, that you get
what you
 pay
 for.

 Hi,
 I have a question: I have the IPhone 5C with IOS 7.
 Are there any free OCR apps for the IPhone where a blind person
can tell
 what papers say?
 I hope to hear from you soon.
 Sincerely,
 John Sanders
