  • Makes a few errors

    This app seems to struggle somewhat with uppercase English text. When extracting text from a TIFF I noticed it tends to misread D or Q as "O", and VV as "W" or even "WV". Very occasionally gives "L" in place of I. If accuracy is important for your project be sure to give it a good proofreading before proceeding.

    Still, it's frequently able to find text where Adobe Acrobat would fall flat on its face, so 3 stars for that.

  • so you basically couldn't program a way to close the installation window?

    1- it's not free
    2- you made it impossible to close the installation window without restarting the machine.

    worst app I've ever downloaded

    Developer Response

    You are incorrect. 1- it is free to use for as long as you want, but it limits the length of the detection. 2- I did program a way to close the installer window. Just press Command-Q like any other app. You can also just start the free trial in the last screen, which does not require any sign up (and again, is free, no subscription to sign up for, etc.).
  • Flawless and SO EASY

    My hat off to the delelpor. This is so easy to use and saved me WAY more in the first use than what it cost. Now I can get a good nights sleep instead of dreaming about stupid numbers and letters!

    And from a developer that actually listens to its customers.

    What a great feature to have on an iPhone or iPad.… and extra points for originality.

    As with many things in life, reward the innovators, not the imitators.
  • Highly recommend

    Great app, makes taking notes easier!
  • Surprisingly useful

    I’m surprised at how often I’m using this app. Text images on Twitter, excerpts from books I’m reading, for my notes. Lovely, useful, and cross-platform to boot.
  • Who knew?

    One of those does-one-thing-well apps. Very very well in this case. I'm surprised at how often I pull it up to scan a text image or something I'm citing from a book I'm reading. Nice to have it on all my platforms (so thanks also to Apple for making that easier than it has been in the past).
  • Awesome App, no faff - Thanks Gentleman Coders

    Accounting student here.

    Spent the last hour trying to find an app that will let me convert my handwritten notes to text in a simple, quick, no faff way

    Tried Msoft Lens and the Adobe scanning app which are both brilliant at producing beautiful scans but are expensive and only export to pdf and you need the Microsoft app or a one drive subscription before you can finally grab your bit of OCR’d text, basically a bunch of faff...

    This app is unbelievably simple and quick to use

    Was surprised at how well it picked up my handwritten notes, not perfectly but almost deffo down to my rushed handwriting

    Tested it on my textbook at it picked up literally everything and had it available on my clipboard for me to drop into my notes app, no faff

    Will keep using it for the rest of the week on the free subscription and will probs be purchasing the full version. Only £5.99 which seems pretty good value compared to the others options out there

  • Great App

    Easy to use, helps me a lot when dealing with paperwork as sometimes the documents I get from clients are a bit unclear or difficult to take the information from.
