Currently Unable to Get Past Tutorial, and a Question
I just grabbed myself a copy of this app. First off, I was unable to get past the tutorial but will re-open the app later this week and see what happens. Now to my question. This app entry links to the "Synthesizer" entry. That is a paid app, so I'm wondering why it is listed in this entry? In any case, it's great to have yet another free scanning app.
Got Past The Tutorial and...
I figured out how to bypass the tutorial, so just a bit ago I put this app through its paces a bit. As with any of these scanning apps, my aim isn't quite up to par but thus far I'm very impressed with this app. The interface is simple.
it even reads computer screens
this is a really handy little app. I have read food boxes, documents, and my computer screen. Of course, you can’t navigate the screen using this. But I was really surprised that it read the screen at all. I recommend it.
Very impressed with this app.
I have a hard time with a lot of these apps and I have never been able to read can labels, but this app read me all the information from a can of Fancy Feast with no trouble. as some may know, Fancy Feast cans are very small and skinny.
Nice simple app.
I recommend this app too. It starts reading right away.
