It's six in the evening, the reading homework is still open on the table, and you both already know how the next hour goes. One paragraph, a pause, then the same line again. Freshscan reads the page out loud. Point the camera at a schoolbook, a worksheet, a letter. Tap the paragraph that's due. Listen. ONE PARAGRAPH AT A TIME A whole page delivered at once is the moment a child who finds reading hard gives up. So Freshscan doesn't do that. It finds the blocks of text on the page and lets your child choose one. The rest of the page stays quiet until they're ready for it. Holding the phone steady is the entire operation. The app finds the page by itself and starts the moment you stop moving. There are no buttons to hunt for, which matters when a child is using it alone. A VOICE WORTH LISTENING TO A child will sit through an audiobook narrator. A child will not sit through a navigation system. Freshscan's premium voices sound like the first kind, and the Smart Narrator holds one consistent tone across a whole document, so chapter three doesn't arrive in a different voice than chapter one. If the connection drops mid-page, a free on-device voice picks it up from there. The reading doesn't stop. WHAT IT DOES - Reads printed text through your camera: schoolbooks, worksheets, letters, contracts, packaging - Groups the page into paragraphs your reader taps one at a time - Finds the page and captures on its own when you hold still - Recognizes and reads text in many languages, so the English homework works too - Keeps one narrating voice from the first page of a document to the last - Falls back to a free on-device voice when the network isn't there NOT ONLY HOMEWORK Reading doesn't get easier after school. A letter from the tax office, a rental contract, an insurance form, the small print on a prescription. Same camera, same tap, same voice. If reading has always been work for you, this is the app for that too, and nothing about it looks like it was built for children. WHAT IT COSTS No subscription. Nothing renews. You start with 100,000 coins, free, once. After that, coins are a one-time purchase in three sizes, and they are only spent while a premium voice is actually playing. The on-device voice costs nothing at all. Scan as many pages as you like without touching your balance. Freshscan is made with dyslexia in mind, for children and for adults. It's for anyone who would rather listen to a page than fight their way through it. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 750,000 Coins | $1.99 | one-time | | 2,250,000 Coins | $4.99 | one-time | | 5,000,000 Coins | $9.99 | one-time | ## Is Freshscan App safe?

With the Smart Narrator on, they keep one tone across the whole document, too. Until now, a page in one of these languages could stop playing while the Smart Narrator was on. That is fixed. A page in these languages now takes more coins than before. The app shows the cost before you press play. If a page does not read the way you expected, we would like to know. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-09 The premium voice now reads aloud on mobile data too. Until now the app switched to the device's simpler voice when you were out and about – and sometimes stayed with it even after Wi-Fi was back. Now you hear the same voice everywhere. A short notice shows when mobile data is being used. Also fixed: • A paragraph sometimes stayed silent, and stayed silent every time you played it again. That is fixed, and a silent paragraph no longer costs any coins. • If the connection drops, the app now tells you so instead of switching voices. If a page does not read the way you expected, we would like to know. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-07 The voice now starts while the paragraph is still being prepared. Until now the premium voice waited until a whole section was ready before it said a word, so tapping play was often followed by several seconds of silence. Now the first words come much sooner, and the rest follows as it is made. Also in this version: • A newer generation of premium voices • If the connection drops mid-paragraph, the free on-device voice carries on from the sentence where it stopped If a page does not read the way you expected, we would like to know. ### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-21 The free coins now arrive on their own. Until now you had to go and find them in the coin shop, so anyone who simply pointed the camera at a page and pressed play heard nothing at all. Your 100,000 coins are there from the first launch, before you even sign in. Also in this version: • Coins belong to your account, so signing in brings them back — on a new phone too • When the balance cannot be reached, the app says so instead of showing a misleading zero If a page does not read the way you expected, we would like to know. ### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-14 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Freshscan App | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Dyslexia Reading Lens](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dyslexia-reading-lens/id6776156853) | — | Free | Education | | [ClearPage: Dyslexia Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/clearpage-dyslexia-reader/id6779539839) | — | Free | Education | | [ReadEase – AI Text Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/readease-ai-text-reader/id6770265921) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Learn to Read with Tico AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/learn-to-read-with-tico-ai/id6785719565) | — | Free | Education | | [Math Solver: Photo Answers](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/math-solver-photo-answers/id6752898397) | — | Free | Education | | [Ask Poppy: AI Tutor & Mentor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ask-poppy-ai-tutor-and-mentor/id6757080904) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Education | ## More apps by Daniel Schwarz - [Freshtext - Text on Photos](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/freshtext-text-on-photos/id1435040661) All apps by Daniel Schwarz: https://appshunter.io/developer/1435040660 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
