Savior

This app has saved my life! It has come in handy especially now that I do online school so I can transfer all my notes to my phone and take them wherever I go!

This isn’t worth the time

It was pretty cool till I took the time to edited it 2x and both times after hitting done it went to the next page like no editing had been done. So I tried the 2nd time and same thing I will look for a similar app to try now. Good idea but very frustrating editing something 2x and then just feeling like you could had just typed it.

Not good

Does not recognise all of the word correctly and even if only one letter out it does not offer any (even obvious) replacements. As a result it takes far too long to get anything done because you are constantly correcting everything. Deleted the app.

Does what it says it will

While it does what it says it will, that is all. If you took a photo and are working on edits to the text but navigate from the app you lose your work - no auto save function. You pay monthly but I can’t figure out why - there don’t appear to be any improvements in the months I’ve had it. The recognition is ok. I know my handwriting isn’t the clearest but sometimes the app just suggests the weirdest letters for thing that look pretty clear to me. It’s saving me time in the long run to convert some physical docs into word docs.

Not worth your time

First off, you have to pay to use any of the export features on the app, aka, you have to pay to even use it. It worked horribly and it seemed as though the entire page of notes was completely messed up. After spending about 10 minutes fixing them, I received a message that I would have to spend my money on my one page notes! I am entirely disappointed in this app and would advise and students, teachers, and others alike to not waste their time with it.

Saves a lot of time

This will allow you to take pages of notes and convert them to text in just minutes. Love this app.

Desrves 0 stars for free version

Terrible job converting handwritten list to typed text. Most of the typed version was so nonsensical I couldn’t figure out what I wrote. I went back and eventually figured out how to edit each line. Don’t bother with all this work like I did, folks, because there’s no way at all to save all the edited text. I knew from reviews that you couldn’t export or save a document without paying for the premium, but considering the fact that you cannot edit and save your edits means that, based on the free version, I’d advise you to stay away from the paid version.

How is every other ocr app so bad

I tried all the top apps (90k reviews, 5 stars) and they were all terrible. One actually detected 4 lines instead of 6 and made complete gibberish.

This bad boy got it spit on(except my illegible t’s) first try

Fantastic app , I highly recommended, makes much easier.

Fantastic app , I highly recommended, makes much easier. I will use over and over , great technology

Almost perfect

This looks like a great app, and I was able to put in on two devices without paying for it twice. It’s really easy to use, but does it sync between devices? If I could take the pictures with my iPhone and edit them on my iPad, then it would be perfect.
