OCR Tips for better text recognition:
* Make sure the snapshot photo is well lit and flat, otherwise the words in gray shade or in curled margin might not be correctly recognized
* Make sure the snapshot is taken in sharp focus
* Put target text in the center of the snapshot photo taken, better with middle text size, too small text-size or too many text lines might lead to longer recognition time
BKNotes Pro recommends iOS 4 installed iPhone (better with auto-focus camera to support barcode scanning), but it also supports lower version iOS devices even without camera, like iPod Touch 2G.
