The Free Braigo App in the App Store not only does quality OCR, the Brig App does some very interesting Object recognition, too. Jeff Thompson gives a quick demo of this new OCR app which actually does quite a good job reading the text and the accessibility is sweet. 

It would be nice to be able to open the created text in another app or copy the text to a word processing app but that doesn’t seem to be happening. You can save the photos here and there, but maybe I missed that.

I like the simple set-up and the tap anywhere approach to take a picture. There is no location, tilt, or complexity you find in the KNFB Reader App, but, for FREE? I say they are off to a great start, especially with the effort to bring Object Recognition to the table. Possibly a wooden table at that! No, the object recognition is not all that

and has a way to go but I have to give the Braigo App a strong 4 stars for being what it is.  

I would like to note that the images are stored in the camera roll and requires one to actually go to the camera roll and delete them as well as going into the Braigo App's menu and deleting there as well. I sent a message to the dev team with this memory hog issue plus the fact that this happens without warning.
