iOS and iPadOS

Hey guys, I have just downloaded a new app that just came out yesterday. It is cold TextDetective, from BlindSight. It is different from other scanning apps, because it is geared for the visually in paired people.

You have to unlock rotation  lock in order to use this app  you then place the iPhone   In landscape mode, left or right,  with the home button to the edge of the paper and the iPhone at a forearm distance height  away from the paper  you hit the start scanning button, and it should read you what is scanning  if it shows gibberish it will read that as well, but for me it actually read part of the page.
