[nabs-l] KNFB Reader app

[Jorge Paez]

Fare enough, but for the sake of discussion, are you sure its not the
camera that has improved?
I'm only offering this counterpoint because the fact of the matter is
that more than the software, OCR depends a lot on the kind of camera
you take the picture with, and the iPhone 6/6+ has a much better
camera than the previous versions.

Yours in Christ,


Jorge

God blesses those people
    who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom
    of heaven! (Mathew 5:3, CEV)

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is focused on You,
Because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV)
