AppWriter offers word prediction, OCR, text to speech and Dyslexie font. I am dying to get my hands on it to try it out. I already know several students who could benefit from this app. One student is in her first year of high school. I remember recommending a laptop for her in fifth grade. With it we ordered word prediction software, a scanner and a portable printer. This $19.99 app might do a good job of replacing all that for certain school tasks. If anyone remembers the difficulty of scanning in and sharing documents, this is a relief!
Are you as excited as I am?

Hi,
We are the developers behind the app. The OCR feature is very dependent on a clear and sharp image. It can be very difficult to capture a good image with the built-in camera.
We included the OCR functionality, because we are working on integrating a pdf/epub-reader. So the actual use case is not to capture images with the camera, but to use OCR on pdf/epub files.
The pdf-reader is not included in the first version - but it's coming in the very near future.
Thanks for this update. Is there a difference in the OCR feature when using the better camera on the new iPad?
