One step reader
Well, it reads PDF files great, and taking pictures is currently difficult but once you get one that it can read, it does very well, I would like to see this app be supported by video and without having to specifically line up a picture be able to read rapidly what it sees in real time, also I’d like the PDF files to be able to be downloaded directly without going through a cloud service.Show lessWilliam and Beckie
Satisfied customer
Thank you for One Step Reader. I use several readers to read print, that work reasonably well, but find One Step is the best for me. It is the only reader that I have found that can read PDF's better than others, and it is handy when I want to save long documents.
Thank you for assisting blind people with independence and accessibility.Show lessGeekyBlink
Useful for my mail
This is so helpful when I’m checking my mail. First I put the envelope in and it reads me the front of the envelope. and then I know whether I need to actually look at the inside. Then I open it up and scan each page. I don’t know how else I would check my mail without this program. It is really goodShow lessLivininseattle
Long time app, owner, use very little.
I bought this app when it first came out years ago, and it was about the only one on the market. I have used it, tried to use it, got so frustrated I quit using it, and I found that there are other apps out there, much cheaper or free that do as good or better job than this app. I would love to get my money back, but haven’t owned it since the very beginning. I’m sure that’s not a possibility. I do not recommend this app for anyone, low vision, no vision voiceover, user, etc.
Usually you get what you pay for with an app however, in this case you don’t!Show lessWhite, the blind guy
Won't process advanced documents for blind people
I would happily pay $99 for the application that I'm looking for, but this is not it. I was hoping that I would be able to use this to read historical SEC filings of companies which include a lot of text and tables. Unfortunately, as their instructional material explains, Advance documents like memos in books are only intended for the cited users, while blind people are only supposed to read receipts.
Even though it says that you can export to HTML, the only options for saving are PDF and some sort of proprietary format which they recommend for blind people. The only way that you can actually read is by using the audio player tool, as voiceover Will only navigate word by word. You can also only read by sentence, word or line, and not by paragraph. During the OCR process, voiceover will not interact with the application and it does not tell you the progress.

Too many changes. Period
When I first bought this app it was one of the best reading document apps out there. But now it has gone down drastically. So many software updates on here and changing the user face of the platform. I remember when this app was called KNFB reader now it’s called something else they didn’t change the name about 23 times. And now I can barely use it. If I can get my money back I would.Show lessBlind swordsman to 10
Don’t waste your money
When it first came out, there was nothing else on the market like it and it was excellent. Now, due to all of the other scanners coming out that are much cheaper, they are more streamlined and they scan text clearer and they read pretty much perfectly what it’s scanned. The KNFB reader is not keeping up with the new technology and it’s too cumbersome to use and doesn’t work a lot of the times.Show lessKhplor
Read PDFs
I have used the KNFB Reader way back when it was only available on a cell phone and a clunky device that put the camera and phone together. This app improves that immensely, but compared to some free apps, I believe it is overpriced. I do however appreciate the fact that it does a pretty good job reading PDFs.Show lessS LB 123
Not as good as it used to be
I used to be able to read things in well laid out braille within the app. Now, it’s one braille word per line or read along with the voice. Yes, I can export files to other formats, but KNFB Reader seemed better able to work with columns and whatnot. Besides, I am going to read my way, even if this means that KNFB Reader ends up being a hinderance rather than the powerful tool it has been.Show lessMrobboa
Great Program!
This is an excellent program. As a new KNFB Reader user, I read all the directions first. I find that it works exactly as it is supposed to. I have read the negative reviews, and I wonder if previous users are trying to do things the old way, without having read the instructions. I love this program! Not to mention the convenience of having it on my iPhone.Show lessCarriehow
