Reading canned goods is not one of the KNFB Reader's fortes. The reason 
is that the image is not flat. However, I have had limited success by 
taking four pictures of a can, each a quarter-turn apart. Then I just 
read the results of the four images and put them together in my head. 
While this doesn't yield everything and isn't always completely 
coherent, I can usually figure out what is inside the can. Example: one 
would not normally find pineapple chunks in pork 'n' beans! (grin)

  Hi All,

  Here at work we just got a KNFB reader and I have been working with it 
the past week.  I love the reader.  I have not had any luck in having 
read what information is on can goods.  How has every ones experience 
with this been?  Could I get some tips on trying to take a picture of 
can goods?

  For more information on our Alamo/National car rental training 
program, contact me at the below information.
