User reviews
It almost reads aloud properly but has a few errors here and there. you need to take the picture of text head on and with no pictures in the way. Try covering them or after taking the pictures, choose the parts you want read. The other thing is the ads (we all have to get paid some how) but other than that, it's good
● Generally quite good. However, for Text Capture, some words, icons, symbols , imojis, etc appear as text misspellings. Text capture engine needs improvement to 98% or more accuracy. ● For Samsung Galaxy A54, the "copy text option" fails to recognize copied text (=> "No Text Detected"). ● The ability to rearrange the order of opening screen options would be a great improvement ● as would a floating screen shortcut on the main screen. Ultimately, it's free, reliable, user-friendly & has no ads!
While I really appreciate the more modern clean interface compared to other apps like this, it unforunately doesn't seem very good at what it does. Maybe it is for simple straight forward images but I had a lot of bullet points in my pdf file (both with check boxes and numbers and letters) and it strangely didn't know what to do with it and would put things out of order.
