After the developers promptly added a much needed feature (ability to import Camera Roll images), I am amazed by the power of ScanCam! Ive just scanned a long paragraph of italicized text reproduced in a reprint of an old John Muir book and the accuracy was nearly 100 percent! This OCR engine is really first-rate. I would also add that preparing the text image by squaring it up and increasing contrast with a product like JotNot seems to help ScanCam do its job better. Although not absolutely necessary, it further improves the apps already impressive accuracy. Perhaps ScanCams developers ought to consider a co-promotion or bundling with JotNot? In any event, dont be put off by any negative review. Try this yourself, especially if you have the higher resolution 3Gs. By the way, it took a couple of reboots after installing before it started working properly for me. Give it a chance before deleting. It really is amazing! (And I have absolutely no association with the developers.)
