Well made and useful app
Works well, gets text from screenshots or photos. On iPad you can say “Hey Siri take a screenshot” share to the app and select the text to recognise on the screen which is great for online presentations. 50 characters will be enough for a lot of people so it’s effectively free if that’s all you need.Show lessAndyJ3009
very responsive "gentlemanly" developer
My initial experience was poor, but I contacted the developer, and he kindly gave me a lifetime subscription to get past a bug which caused the app to consider my 7-day trial expired before I even got to try it the morning after downloading it.
The app is straightforward to use, and very handy if you have a need to convert text images to OCR. I am for now giving it a 4 star rating on the hope that the bug will be addressed, and that he won't go broke giving away free licenses.Show lessLinneazzz

Don’t offer an app as free that you can’t use at all unless you subscribe.DJ Neil G

This app is amazing. After 5 minutes of use, I knew I had to get a lifetime license. Works great on both my iphone and Mac. This will save me so much time. The accuracy of text from screen capture and camera is frightening in a good way.andrewrodney
Possible tool for blind users.
I'm looking forward to trying this app out to recognize text on labels, signs, etc. Will update soon. It would be nice to have handwriting recognition as that's difficult for me to see.SeanCPDX

I have had the need for exactly this app for years.
Suddenly I hear about it and I have already used it half a dozen times in one day for real!
Works seamlessly and fast. Zero mistakes that I have seen. Thanks to whomever developed this app, it's so rare to see new softwre that just does something you need. Poof!Show lessGabrielDoesminecraft
Amazing App!!
How many times have you wished you could just take a picture of a flyer and auto magically call the phone number or go to the website? Well with this app you can!
The developer is very responsive and also has a great offer: whatever subscription you get on your iPhone isNot only available on all your devices but via family sharing all your families devices. We just bought the $9.99 lifetime subscription-WHAT a deal!Show lessHSVBamaBob
Fantastic App - YES it works!
How many times have you wanted to capture text or numbers from a flyer or other non-text document (yes, I mean phone numbers are ready to dial on your iPhone from a LiveScan snap!)
$9.99 for a Lifetime AND I get a iPhone/iPad app? Sold! I just put my money down!Impressive and private
I’m amazed at what this app recognizes in so many different fonts, sizes and colors! (been pointing at things all over the house trying it out). Plus no external servers, and all processing done SO FAST right on the device. Powerful stuff, with no gross Google privacy invasion. Well done.Wizard Island
