### 5/5 — 超级精准的识别率，应该是同类第一

*2020-02-29*

准确率非常高，很客观公正的评价，比白描，还有口袋扫描仪，拍照取字还有一堆app识别率高，那些英文大小写掺杂的，比如代码还有其他一些图片那些，截图发现小嘿扫描识别最为准确，就是希望开发者能更新一下下，其实真的很棒app，还有很多细节地方需要完善，譬如校正无法上下校正，也可以缩小放大图片进行对比，图片也可以进行修剪不是所有一整张照片需要识别，还有滤镜增强，望开发者可以更新一下！！！

### 5/5 — 真的很好用

*2020-02-26*

不知道为什么现在不能用了吗？这么好用的一款产品，我用这个产品很长时间了，同时也推荐给我身边很多朋友使用，反馈的信息都说很好

### 4/5 — 软件我本来给满分的 但是

*2019-12-27*

软件我本来给满分的，之前用都很好，但是最近不知道怎么的，拍照识别文字还好，但是一旦用图库的图片识别文字，图片就会显示不出来，而成图片位是全黑，强行按扫描，显示的是网络繁忙，我已经卸载过又重新下载了，还是这样，希望能解决这个bug，不然真的好不方便，谢谢

### 5/5 — 什么情况？开发大哥看看

*2019-05-15*

是你们但是这款软件了吗？最近经常出现手机有网，但是一到扫描时候都会报错无网络，试了各种方法了还是不行，只能卸载重装，赶紧解决吧

### 5/5 — 第一次评论，良心软件

*2018-10-10*

花了不少钱下了很多扫描软件，效果都没有这个好，只要三块钱真的良心，对于办公是神器，希望加入批量扫描的功能，很好，值得支持。

### 1/5 — 为什么网络老是有问题

*2018-08-11*

真的是很恼火才给的这个评分，因为专业课文字非常多所以用这个软件扫描做笔记，很肯定在这个软件能正常运转的时候非常优秀，比搜狗输入法自带那个精准度高很多，但是，这个软件经常出现网络连接有问题导致我无法使用的情况，这样的用户体验我真的不想要有了，我家的网我并不觉得有什么问题，气人啊气人

### 5/5 — 必须来好评！

*2018-07-20*

印刷体识别的准确性，已经不用多说了，因为说他百分百也不觉得过分。主要是手写体，我的几张杂乱无章，繁简混杂的手写文本，居然能九十九以上的被识别，之前试过大部分其它知名的不知名的，付费的软件，在识别手写文本方面，几乎都是渣渣，不到百分之一。我可以肯定的说，这个是目前识别中文最好的软件，没有之一！

### 4/5 — 很不错的软件，美中不足的地方希望作者采纳。

*2018-06-24*

很不错的软件，美中不足的是不能扫描斜着的文字，建议增加自动或者手动水平校准，在扫描两栏内容时，往往需要两次扫描，建议可以增加一个可选取的扫描框。望采纳，希望更好的成果！

### 3/5 — 综合评价

*2018-06-13*

之前使用是不错的，可以切割以及准确的识别文本，比其他文本识别都是要更好一些，但是最近出现问题，首先就是图片切割的时候，切割以后图形会变形，或者是旋转，其次是网络经常报错，网络明明已经连接但是无法识别扫描，不知道什么原因。

**Developer response:** 你好，很抱歉因为13号服务器端故障影响了您使用，现在已经恢复了！非常抱歉！然后切割图片的问题下个版本就修复了~

### 5/5 — 新版本有问题，请作者修复

*2018-06-13*

主要是裁剪选定内容后，不是需要的内容，选定的被裁了。显示不全，该横屏时不横屏，该竖屏是不是竖屏。现在只能拍了直接扫描。

除了新版本的此不足外，个人认为小嘿是识别率最高的识别工具。
