2024-06-04 | Ján Florovič | The camera doesn't work anymore, just black screen appears. Text recognition works well, I would welcome to recognise ancient Greek text too. 🙏 | |
2023-09-09 | Sam Romano | Works flawlessly! Integration in share menu. Screenshots need to be able to be shared to ocr text scanner. Fotos as well. Thanks! | |
2022-10-08 | Market User | Simple and effective. Works without a network connection. Update: Stopped working, uninstalled. | |
2022-09-14 | Pat Luvall (Mysta Squiggle) | Only good for simply formatted text. Does not handle newspaper articles with multiple columns and hyphenated line-breaks. | |
2022-09-02 | Jammy James | Not very accurate scan. It introduces text that is not there that you then have to edit out. | |
2022-08-05 | Andrew Stiling | Works well for what you need it for. I'd like to see direct scan to document (example: as serial number into tracking sheets) transfer but it's quick, fairly accurate, and easy to use. | |
2022-04-12 | Paul Chillingworth | Not perfect but, it is a modern marvel. One of the uses I have for it is grabbing a long list of files or folders from a Windows 10 file explorer and pasting into an email. As they all do it works best with space around the text. | |
2022-03-18 | Dennis Cross | I am amazed at the accuracy. The on screen preview of the recognition is helpful in getting a good reading. | |
2021-11-19 | Chad Kline | The OCR is terrible with photos, complete failure. When testing with a 'live view' of a printed manual, it displays the result in highlighted text over the image, which requires a steady hand. Movements cause the OCR to change. The best result I could achieve is 90% accuracy approximately. Not good enough for legal documents. I would give this app 10 stars if the OCR worked on photos of as well as with 'live views'. No annoyances/Ads. | |
2021-11-17 | Alexander Narret | Shows you right away what the text will be recognized as, very easy to use! 4 stars because it's unsure of itself and constantly changes even though the changes are all equally close. |
