Hello all -- I just had a little experience with my reader that I thought 
I'd share in case anyone else could beneefit -- I had a bottle of something 
that I wanted to read the label on. I didn't know the font or anything about 
how the label was written, but when I snapped the picture the reader spoke 
said it was rotated 3 degrees and then spoke one word of the name of the 
stuff in the bottle. i then rotated the bottle a little counterclockwise to 
see if I could get any more, and snapped the picture, and indeed, the reader 
then read the entire label.
The letters of the rest of the label were in a fancy font so I was impressed 
the reader was able to decipher it.
It didn't actually read it perfectly, but spelled most of the letters so I 
was able to identify the contents of the bottle.
Just a note to encourage others to try multiple pictures before giving up on 
a particular label.
Loving this gadget!
Cheers!
