I have only done one page so far but the ocr was nearly perfect. ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2022-08-18, version 1.1* Thank you. I spent hours trying to figure out how to convert my handwritten notes to text on Microsoft OneNote to no avail. This literally took seconds. Bravo!!!! ### 5/5 — So far great app, *2022-07-04, version 1.1* This scans better in OCR than most Apps, that miss spell the words. Not this app! Good job so far! ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-06-07, version 1.1* It’s good ### 5/5 — Wow!Wow *2022-04-25, version 1.1* I had a bunch of note to transcribe, now I finally be able to do it. I love this app already. Dr. Love ### 4/5 — Typing Made Easy *2022-04-08, version 1.1* It seems like I can link pages together not sure yet I am still getting familiar with product. I did let me photograph more than one page without having to send one page at a time. 😊 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying forcesyou to rate app. *2022-01-07, version 1.1* Just for that 1 star ### 2/5 — Less than thrilled *2022-08-24, version 1.1* I expected some errors because my penmanship is far from great but I hoped it would do better than it did. Half of what It interpreted is nothing close to what I wrote. It also randomly added paragraph breaks that had nothing to do with what was on the page or fitting it on the screen. Would have liked to see it work with more apps too ### 2/5 — Can't do anything with scanned text. *2022-02-21, version 1.1* The app scans handwritten text well enough, such that fixing the mistakes should work pretty well. But when I tried to upload the text so that I can transfer to my PC, I couldn't. The only available option was to scan another page. App deleted. ### 2/5 — F *2022-01-17, version 1.1* Fbht ### 2/5 — Reviews BEFORE trying it out.... silly *2021-01-01, version 1.0* I had to review this app BEFORE using it... A 2 is all it is for now. Annoying ### 2/5 — Miles to soon to ask got a review. *2020-09-10, version 1.0* Only done one scan ### 3/5 — it’s okay *2022-04-06, version 1.1* the app does work but you have to show half the paper and you can’t copy and paste to word or any of that kind ### 4/5 — Yep *2024-11-25, version 1.2* Yep ### 4/5 — Time-saving function *2024-10-18, version 1.2* Took my handwritten list to editable text in seconds. It did need correcting but still super-handy 😊 ### 4/5 — Samson *2024-10-16* You have to tidy it up a bit but it’s useable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works well *2025-11-03, version 1.2.1* Great at copying handwriting, easy to move into another app. ### 5/5 — Working great! *2025-06-15, version 1.2.1* A dream come true. ### 5/5 — Cheap and easy *2025-04-06, version 1.2.1* Not much more or less to say it does the job and it’s free. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2024-12-15, version 1.2* I’ve only used it a couple of times but so far so good.
