It would be a perfect solution vs. the other free iOS apps. ### 3/5 — Not that good anymore! *2019-06-25, version 1.0* This app used to work great but not so much anymore. ### 4/5 — Love it *2019-04-24, version 1.0* Love the app. Works great ### 1/5 — Spanish *2019-02-28, version 1.0* Won’t do Spanish text, very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Can’t read numbers/ math equations *2019-02-06, version 1.0* Trying to copy calculus problems out of a textbook for class was unable to recognize numbers and symbols and replaced them with letters ### 4/5 — It definitely does the job. *2018-11-27, version 1.0* It does do the job but you have to check it closely for errors. ### 1/5 — Pretty bad! *2018-11-11, version 1.0* I scanned a printed note in a standard font and all it gave back me back was gibberish computer jargon, numbers and symbols! Too bad ### 2/5 — Well... kinda *2018-11-01, version 1.0* It did pick up the image and did convert it to text. The problem is, it messed up a ton of letters. Here is an example, from trying to convert a sample voting ballot: E To continue funds fol Ihe suppon of WVU Extension Savice and Ansblidge ol olhel an enrichment programs in the county in suppon of [he sludenlsl 360.000 As you can see, not much sense was made. I don’t expect perfection but I can’t even tell what it’s trying to say on lots of that. There was way more text but I don’t want to paste the whole thing, in favor of having this review be a decent length. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-09-25, version 1.0* Placed an image in the converter and had no luck. ### 4/5 — Well done *2018-08-18, version 1.0* Better than the other one I have ### 1/5 — Appears to always output gibberish for me *2018-08-17, version 1.0* Might be just the text I'm using? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2021-08-08, version 1.1* Advertising hampers use ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-11-15, version 1.0* I tried to put in text and all I got were a bunch of random numbers. Don’t waste your time on this ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2019-11-10, version 1.0* Useless, don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-10-10, version 1.0* The text scanner is horrible ### 1/5 — Bad just bad *2019-09-03, version 1.0* A ton of mistakes. Not good for English apparently. ### 1/5 — does not work *2019-08-03, version 1.0* Do not waste your time with this app. It does not recognize one single word of text and will only output gibberish. Apparently Apple has no standards as to what they will accept in their App Store, because this definitely does not have any function at all. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-04-12, version 1.0* Didn’t work at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-09-12, version 1.0* Updated 09.12.2019: absolutely helped me out this afternoon. It does what it says! It does it well! I want it! I need it! I bought it! I use it! ### 5/5 — TERRIBLE!!! *2019-03-15, version 1.0* Do not waste your time these are PAID REVIEWS this app is garbage and does not work at all all it does is promotes ads and probably steals information from your phone to sell DONT DOWNLOAD ! ### 5/5 — Basic *2019-02-10, version 1.0* Low standers. Has a bit of loop wholes. At the end of the day. It works. And god gave it the glad tidings. ### 5/5 — Wow, amazing. Game changer. *2018-11-08, version 1.0* Definitely get this app. I did, and I’m impressed. ### 5/5 — BEST APP for turning PICTURE TEXT TO A COPY-ABLE TEXT *2018-05-14, version 1.0* BEST APP FOR PIC TO TEXT! NO BS on this app! Saved so much time. It’s Not like the other 2 I downloaded along with this!! The others saying free too but had some kind of “trial” that turns into you getting charged too much This app did exactly what I needed and no less and I would pay 1$ for it all day. Thanks for being generous. ### 5/5 — Great app. Does what it says. *2018-05-05, version 1.0* Great app. Does what it says. Advertisements are NOT intrusive. Would gladly pay $1 to remove the ads. ### 5/5 — Very useful! This text recognition appears better than Acrobat's OCR *2017-11-27, version 1.0* Very useful! This text recognition appears better than Acrobat's OCR --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
