awful mechanics!

so basically my dad has tried this app and has tried to scan stuff everything pretty much works except for the most important thing which is the view it doesn’t work! My dad tried it he said all that came out was unfinished sentences and random numbers and symbols! if you fix it I will be more pleased with this app
