### 2/5 — Usually doesn’t work

*2021-10-23, version 1.1*

Doesn’t work unless the picture is perfectly clear and the lighting is perfect.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2021-08-08, version 1.1*

Advertising hampers use

### 4/5 — Good Overall

*2020-11-04, version 1.1*

Sometimes you have to retake a photo because it changes it into gibberish the first time around, but it’s the first free working app that allows you to copy its text to somewhere else that I’ve found.

### 5/5 — Very accurate!

*2020-07-10, version 1.0*

This is a great app. It converts text in a photo to actual text very quickly and accurately.

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2020-05-13, version 1.0*

Bunch of BS. Anything that says otherwise is a fake review. I have tried also with multiple images in order to give it the benefit of the doubt. But this app fails miserably.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even recognise 4 words

*2020-03-27*

Tried to take a photo of a page with only a typed 4 word sentence... didn’t even work for that! Can’t imagine how it would work for a whole page of typed words.

### 5/5 — Ipse Dixit

*2020-03-10, version 1.0*

Does what I want it to do.

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-03-01, version 1.0*

Really helped me cheat on an assignment in English class. :D

### 3/5 — Not compatible with iOS13

*2019-12-31, version 1.0*

Too bad. It would be a perfect solution vs. the other free iOS apps.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-12-15, version 1.0*

The app is pretty useless, once it converts it to text some of the words are just gibberish.
