    Could you please specify what version of RTR SDK you use? The fact is that the current version of RTR SDK R6 (build# 1.0.8.21) already includes the code samples supporting both orientations (in portrait and landscape modes).

    Also it would be useful to review the similar post: RTR Device Orientation.

    The size of the window and the search area are set via selectedArea. If you follow the chain of method calls, then after changing the visual part (self.selectedArea), setAreaOfInterest is also updated. If you want to change the recognition area, then use, for example, the following code:

    //Set a frame area of the same size as the window area with margins of 10 points on the edges
self.selectedArea = CGRectInset(viewBounds, 10, 10);

    Please see the details about usage of CGRectInset in Apple Developer Documentation. 

    As for the second issue, it seems that the program cannot return you any stable result, so the recognition does not finish. You can manage the level of the result stability via the RTRResultStabilityStatus enumeration constant, but still it is not guaranteed that it ever reaches the desired level for a particular scene. 

    Do we understand correctly, that this issue happens only for some specific texts? Possible that such text just is not supported: under some certain conditions, unsupported fonts, complex background, etc.
