@LiamErven@mastodon.social i need to read a printed book but I’m bad at reading because disability. I wish I could use a screen reader type of thing in it. I remember you said a while ago you had an app that could do that to read Xbox menus and stuff. Are there any iPhone apps you recommend for reading printed paper thru camera?
@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social oh thank you! I will try Seeing AI for now :)
@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social i can’t get the document mode to work. It always just says no text recognised :/
@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
@ChangelingRandy @LiamErven@mastodon.social figured it out. The document has text layed out in columns, and that was confusing it
@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!
