My understanding is that for IOS, the best OCR program is textDetective. I tried it on a monitor to read boot messages with very limited success. I've gotten a few words at timesbut that is about it.I think if you work at it hard enough it might work. I have an iPod Touch and the camera probably isn't as good as that in more expensive IOS devices. On Sep 29, 2013, at 12:05 AM, Jackie McBride wrote:

Hello,
I'm looking for a phone based solution, preferably free or low cost, that'll do OCR on a computer screen? My issue would be to use it to obtain information on boot up errors, selecting items in a boot list, for example newer boards the f12 options?
Thanks. Dave.
