## What is Image to Text Converter?

Spend your time on more fun things than (re)typing - take a photo of a book page, receipt, invoice, business card, data table, list, note, or any other paper or on-screen document, and let our app extract text from it. All that is left for you to do is to copy text (or selected part of it) and paste it where you need it, or share it as a text file via email or cloud storage services.

Our industry-leading OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines will convert your photos to txt files in a seconds, and spare you from waisting your time and effort on something machines can do. Image to Text is powerful text scanner that just gets the job done. Oh and, it is very simple and easy to use app.

•  Excellent recognition and conversion quality.
•  No limits on file size or number of converted files.
•  Screenshots can be converted as well.
•  Easily share converted documents or open them in another apps.
•  You can copy text or part of it and paste it somewhere else.
•  The converted document is in the .txt format and immediately ready for further reuse.
•  Converted documents are editable so, if it is needed, you can quickly make small adjustments in any text editor on your phone or computer.

So why bother typing quote from the book you are reading to share it with friends, or entering strings of characters you don't know what they mean to translate them - just take a photo and copy-paste them!

Files are sent to our powerful servers where they are being converted by best-on-market OCR technology, so your phone battery and resources won't be drained by conversion. After the file is converted, the result is being downloaded back to the app, and the files are deleted from our servers immediately.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2021-01-30, version 4.1*

They make it take 60-90 minutes if you don’t pay them, I’d understand it if you could only do a limited amount a day, but with this I don’t get to test the effectiveness of the app.

### 1/5 — Worked until I paid for it!!!

*2020-08-25, version 4.1*

It only let me do one at a time and it would take like a 10+ minutes (more then the 1-2) I decided to pay the $5 for the full version and now I can’t even open the app.... it instantly crashes.....

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2020-08-03, version 4.1*

HorribHorrible! You can’t even see your converted text until 90 minutes later!!

### 1/5 — Crash

*2020-07-19, version 4.1*

App crashes immediately after start up so this app is not useable and a waste of money.  I hope they will update it to work.

### 1/5 — This app is garbage

*2020-07-02, version 4.1*

This app does not work. They expect you to upgrade using an in app purchase but the free version does not even work. This app should be deleted from the apple App Store and apple should be ashamed of themselves for even approving it. If your someone who values your time stay away from app. If you want to waste your time then go ahead and download it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do more than one at a time

*2020-05-21, version 4.1*

First try worked. Second didn’t after 4 hours. Did 2 more and it went ok. Paid the $5 first took 2 minutes. Started another. After a minute started a second. The app instantly crashed. I cant keep it open long enough to delete one or contact customer support. Restarted my ipad but that didnt help either. After 10 minutes they are still “converting” but i have little in the way of expectations.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2020-05-21, version 4.1*

I’ve used this app about 6 times successfully and another 50+ times unsuccessfully. I thought ok maybe if I purchase it we will run smoothly. I purchased and believe it or not it never registered I did. I’ll be contacting Apple for full refund.

### 1/5 — Constant crashing!

*2020-02-18, version 4.1*

Paid $4.99 for “instant” and multiple conversions and now it keeps crashing every time I open the app!! Can’t get it to stay functioning long enough to see if the app even works! Highly disappointed by the “industry-leading OCR” app developers!

### 1/5 — This App steals your money

*2020-01-04, version 4.1*

You pay for the unlimited conversions and they still take 60+ per page to finish. Do not buy.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-01-02, version 4.1*

I bought the 4.99 version and it didn’t work. I tried many times and waited a long time for each document for it just to say “this file can’t be converted”. I want my money back
