It is recommended to use the Google Gemini Pro 3 model to recognize text in images. ### 1/5 — Not accurate needs a lot of improvement *2025-10-01, version 1.0.8* I tried scanning documents , tried using pictures all of them were not accurate picks some works and missed a lot more. Uses characters not even on the document. I may use later if improved but the time being it’s just a fun toy not a real program ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS *2025-08-26* Here I was, expecting to be totally blown away by this app. Well, I was blown away, but not in a good way. I had taken a picture of a small 4“ x 2“ article in a magazine. Loaded it into this app. While it did catch some of the words, it by no means grabbed all the text from the article. Luckily, I have an iPhone, and it has the scan to text feature built-in. I used that, and it copied all of the text with absolutely no flaws at all. **Developer response:** Thank you for your constructive feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations. We have since addressed these issues in our new version, which includes significant improvements to our text recognition accuracy. We are confident that you will have a much better experience with the updated version. ### 1/5 — Everything is wrong *2025-08-25* It is interchanging different lines of text and mixing them. Sorry but it doesn’t work for me. ### 1/5 — trash *2025-08-06* trash **Developer response:** We appreciate the minimalist review, straight to the point! If you give us another shot, we’d love the chance to turn that “trash” into “treasure.” That said, we'd genuinely value knowing what didn’t work for you so we can keep improving the experience for everyone. ### 2/5 — so-so *2025-08-26, version 1.0.6* the app looks promising, nice features like Live scan … but… the results are not impressive. Landscape scan not working at all. Be reminded: Phones are used in portait and landscape mode. Even today the app was given for free (Lifetime) I don’t see it as a useful tool at the moment. Deleted ### 2/5 — Partial Capture *2025-08-25, version 1.0.6* I tried using the app on very clean text from a book with very readable text. It captured text, but left out words in a sentence and often had trouble recognizing individual letters. I gave it 2 stars for effort; however it needs a lot of work before you ask for any money. Most smartphones will do a better job of capturing and recognizing text. Please don’t give up. You have the beginnings of what could be a very useful app. ### 5/5 — Works as expected *2025-10-01, version 1.0.8* This app does what it says on the tin. It seems to be a capable little OCR tool. ### 5/5 — Accurate enough for me! *2025-10-01, version 1.0.8* I love this app, and it is accurate enough for me. It will be useful for me as I like to capture written texts from magazines and recipe books. ### 5/5 — Works VERY well!! Wonderful app! *2025-08-31, version 1.0.7* This works very well. Excellent app ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-27, version 1.0.6* Very practical to use, great to have handy, especially when using with small font. I use it as well for recipes off social media. ### 5/5 — Useful tool *2025-08-26, version 1.0.6* Just got it. So far practicing capturing text on TV. It’s showing a lot of promise. This certainly helps my note taking. ### 5/5 — Useful *2025-08-26, version 1.0.6* I like the fast and uncomplicated processing a lot! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-08-07, version 1.0.5* Highly recommended --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
