User reviews

Promising except it doesn’t work...

The app interface is simple and highly visible, and it seems to recognize text well, but it simply doesn’t read the text aloud - which is the entire point.

Not free

When you start the app, the first message is that you are running out of “free scans”.

OCR is mediocre. New lines cause a pause in speech. UI is big which is good for partially sighted users.
