I discovered this morning that you can do a poor man's version of the KNFBReader app on a Linux machine.
1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or Ipod to a Linux computer.
2. Mount the device with the ifuse command. mkdir -p /media/john/iphone/ ifuse /media/john/iphone/
3. Open the camera app and take a picture of your document.
4. Run tesseract to recognize text in the picture. tesseract /media/john/iphone/DCIM/100APPLE/IMG_0001.jpg stdout
