Please improve the save button

I’m using this app to convert all my old handwritten stories to digital, and while the app works well, there are a couple of issues I wish they would fix. First, the button to save text means that you can’t edit it any more. Since I use this app to convert my old novels, it would be nice to save the text and then be able to add to it later. Instead, I have to upload everything two or three pages at a time, which is a hassle. Also if you’re scanning a bunch of text and then the app crashes, you lose all your progress. There’s nothing to save your place or recover your work if you close the app or it crashes. Otherwise this app is good for the amount of money you spend on it. It recognizes handwriting with minimal errors. Just wish they would fix the save options or add autosave.

Adding automation would be awesome

This app works very well. The OCR handwriting is pretty accurate, although some editorial work is usually required. Since this app - which I think was originally designed for the iPad - will now run under Ventura on the Macbook it is even more useful. However, the automation tools don't seem to be supported by this app, so doing lots of pages of text is still a manual process. If the developer is reading this, please consider upgrading the fine tool to be compatable with Macbook automation.

Didn’t live up to expectations

Thought this app showed initial promise. On using it more it scrambles the order of the words too much from the initial photo and it take awhile to the correct the out of order words. Also clicking on done on each line becomes annoying and why can’t you just click on edit for another line to save on clicks? Also some edit buttons on lines don’t work which all leads to frustrating experience. It has promise but is too buggy currently to be used in my workflow.

Disappointed

I down loaded this app to get help reading my grandfathers love letters to my grandmother.
Didn’t help much at all. Little disappointed.

Best handwriting recognition

I’ve looked at several apps and this app has the highest quality conversion from handwriting to text. I am using it to read 19th century documents and it can handle antiquated handwriting.

Just a girl who LOVES axolotls. This app is awesome

OmG this is SO good! Amazing. Everything is free. It works perfectly. I have so much good things to say about this app. I just started using it and I already love it. Jus AMAZING. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. 👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No Trial = No Good

This app doesn’t even offer a trial period or a basic functionality to test it to see if it would be something I’d consider building into my work life. No way to title a note. No way to edit a note. No way to access a note besides to come back to the app. Plenty of other options out there.

App is AMAZING

For giggles I went to Google to see if there was an app that if I hand write notes I could take a picture and have it converted to text formate and I saw this app and figured I’d try it out! And OMG it’s perfect! I’m planning a trip and it’s so east to use my phone to look things up and write my note on paper but then I wanted to share my note with my friends and was dreading typing everything I wrote down and this app saved me so much time and energy! So much so that after my first screenshot of notes it worked so well that I stopped my trip planning to write a review and I rarely write reviews unless something is above and beyond expectations and this is that time!!!! Definitely give this app a try!!!

COMPLETELY USELESS APP

So it lets me convert a photo of text into what you’d THINK would be copy/pastable usable text capable of being used anywhere for anything. But it’s not like that. I guess they thought I just wanted to use their app to stare at it.. but only while I’m using their app. I can’t copy it & paste it… I can’t do anything with it. It’s COMPLETELY USELESS!!
Download this after being warned & you deserve to have your time wasted.

Quite useless, consider another app

Wrong more often than right, will not function without an internet connection and practically featureless without in app purchases. I have to ask why apple even approved it for the App Store.
