Hilariously bad

I used a screen shot from a forum using the most legible text possible, i simply wanted a url. Almost every character is wrong, mistaking https as mpszl. Don’t bother with it.

Not impressed!

Got mostly gibberish

Just cannot get this app to work.

It takes photo then does nothing.
If I use an image from my library - still nothing happens.
I’d like to know how those 5 star reviews were able to use it.

Response from developer

Hello Jazz, could you help to send your iPhone model and iOS version to english-ocr(at)newmobileway.com? Many thanks.

Not accurate- requires user framing text to function

It is highly inaccurate without a well cropped frame, requiring user intervention to get 90% accuracy.

Response from developer

That is true, thank you

Total rubbish

Tried this as an alternative to Rocketbook app. Also tried on plain paper. It created total gibberish. Rocketbook worked far better. Avoid

Hello Melted, don't know how to use it, but thank you for letting us know

Doesn’t work well

I tried clicking pictures of a paragraph on a screen where copying the text was disabled, all I got was gibberish. Didn’t try on printed material, but definitely doesn’t work on photos of screens.

Response from developer

That's true, thank you

Great free ocr app

Does a great job with OCR. Very fast and easy to copy the text or email it.

nice oc4

plz add image drag and drop feature on iOS 11 and feature to select multiple images at once.And feature to drag and drop converted text in split window in iPad Pro.

A robust friendly OCR app

The app is easy to use and has been spot on when it comes to extracting a wide range of text even against different backgrounds. I've been using the free version and am now considering upgrading to the pro version.

Good app ! What’s new with pro version

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍

The Best

Without doubt the best free ocr available

Excellent tool for drivers

I like this English OCR app a lot, saves me time when i'm driving truck everyday.

Brilliant - Easy - Flawless

So handy. Works really well and saves time. Wish I had this back when I was in school to save notes and clippings from various sources. But I do use it often and find it very useful. Love these handy time saving apps.

Fast & Accurate

Very handy and easy to use.

Really good.

Don't mind ads as the app seems to work really well and is free.

Incredible! Love it!

Great simple to use interface and accurate function, thanks for your work! I use this a lot when I can't copy the text in certain apps such as Facebook

Best OCR I ever used...!

I regularly use OCR app to scan my notes. Previously, with other apps, I had to do a lot of editing work post scan. Now after I started using ENGLISH OCR that editing work of mine has significantly decreased. I am very happy to find this app.

At last, OCR that works!

Easy to use and OCR is pretty accurate in good light. Let's you copy to clipboard.
