scanning or ocr my own credit card with out sighted assistanc
Hi, is there currently a way to read my own credit card numbers so that I don't have to ask a sighted person to help me with them?
I personally ask a family member to read my numbers out to me when I first get the card then store them in a text file in my dropbox. Safari on iOS now offers the option to scan your card, it can take a while to get the angle right but this works fine. Kind regards, Kieran.

Dropbox is no place for that sort of stuff. Use Keypass and be done with it. There is no better method. Either that, or sign up for Keybase and use KBFS.

Not a good idea to store CC number in a plain text file. There is plenty of malware that can scavenge your HD for this sort of data.
