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

It is better than other applications as it can read Arabic text, but more enhancements can also be done

エンビジョンはいいですね

いつも使っています。
すごく助かってます。　ひとつ言うなら、色認識を、もう少しわかりやすい説明をしてほしい
それと、テキストスキャンの用紙が右が入ってないのか、左が入ってないとか、上下が上下が入ってないとかって言うのをもうちょっと詳しく説明してほしい
