@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social oh thank you! I will try Seeing AI for now :)

@phoenix @LiamErven That one is honestly my go-to for things, unless I need multi-page or to do an export of the scan.

@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social i can’t get the document mode to work. It always just says no text recognised :/

@phoenix @LiamErven are you sure the document is face-up? Also, are you following the guiding prompts? Finally, is your phone in an orientation that corresponds to the layout of the document?

@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social yes. I got it to work once now. It seems difficult. The short text mode works much better except that I can’t hold the phone still long enough to get through the whole page. It times out a lot too like maybe Microsoft server having problem

@phoenix @LiamErven Possibly. The other thing you might try is placing the document on a surface that contrasts with the color of the paper. If you're going to be doing this a lot, you might also look into a stand for your phone.

@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social figured it out. The document has text layed out in columns, and that was confusing it

@phoenix @LiamErven Oh. When you said a book, that never even crossed my mind.

@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social Government's going to buy me KNFB Reader soon! then i can read all the books! I also found Voice Dream Reader that can read ebooks on the apple watch with nice voices. I think i'll be able to use KNFB to scan a book to ebook, then Dream Voice to get it to read on the watch nicely. Excited about books!
