App summary

Does your phone take blurry low resolution JPEG screenshots (Samsung device users, we’re talking to you)? HiQ OCR Screenshot Tool is the answer.

Our screenshot app is configured out of the box to take high resolution screenshots for our OCR apps such as Word Breaker and Snap Assist. These screenshots will be perfect without any of the strange artifacts introduced by the JPEG image format.

We offer 3 ways to take a screenshot.
Shake your device.
From a button on the overlay. (We even hide the overlay momentarily while taking the screenshot for a perfect snap every time.)
From the app’s notification.

Permissions - our app asks for a few permissions that are mandatory. The permissions are:

1) Read/Write permission to your SD Card. We require this permission to write our beautiful screenshots to your SD card.

2) Capture your screen. This permission is required to take a screenshot of your screen. Don’t worry, we aren’t recording all the time. We only record for a brief second, just enough for a single screenshot. You can see when we’re recording because an icon will briefly flash in your notification drawer.

3) Draw on top of the screen permission. This permission is only necessary when you activate the overlay.

This app was beautiful I've tried four or five other apps and some of them the touch button doesn't stay on the screen or every time you go to a different site you have to reload it and some of them you can't move the target area around me

Good app. Particularly for Samsung users where there is no sift app for the purpose. It's clumsy to capture using 2 button mode.

Simple overlay blob. Takes the shot without contorting buttons or menu navigation.
