Works great!

Perfect app, saved me so much time ❤️❤️❤️

not very good

dont waste your time or clog up your library with useless apps.

Don't install

By far the worst OCR ever!

Dead?

Paid version download was no different from free version. Received no response from developer when I called this to their attention.

Warty

I Agree with FREEMAN. I have used for a week, used up the initial 5 credits and not received the stated 5 daily credits. Also a scanned page requires an unacceptable amount of editing after conversion. However I HAVE received the promised 30 credits for posting this review!

Does not work

No point in downloading this

Great appI Use it all the time.

I love this app. The primary way I use it is in research and study. When I find important information in a Kindle book I'm reading on my iPad, I take a screenshot; load the screenshot in Mobile OCR, convert it to text, and email it to my PC for inclusion in work I'm doing.

Junk basically at this point

Was fine when working ... years ago, not working any more

Doesn't work at all

Simply doesn't work.

Terrible app!

It does not work. Took a picture but could not copy text to clipboard. Useless.

Wouldn't read

I tried and tried on my iPhone 6 to simply read my Address on a letter but all I got was mumbled letters so hope you have better luck.

I like it!

I like this little app. It works and is generally accurate. Useful to me. Wish it had a five page batch feature. Thanks!

Fraud

This is a fraudulent application. It works in the trial version (it gives u five ocr readings per day) but, to buy the app, they tell you that you get unlimited ocr readings for only 3$ so u r encouraged to buy it (since it seems it is working well). But, when u buy the application, it is terrible, first it doesnt support any language other than english, second the ocr is very very and extremely bad...
Most probably, the developers of this app, they use their own paid account at an ocr company to do the ocr for you in the trial version, but when u buy the app, then u will be working on their bad version.

Worked well until I paid for unlimited

Worked really well on a few test images. Then after I paid for unlimited scans it stopped working. Wouldn't even change the test images it had changed to text before. I feel absolutely conned!!!

Pretty poor

It's a bit misleading this App. It says it gives you five daily credits, but once you use these up you don't get any new ones the next day. Also if the text recognition fails, you will just end up with no text and it uses one of your credits. Apart from that it's just about functions. Pity it doesn't carry over any formatting such as paragraphs as it is all bundled into one big long piece of text. Badly needs updating. I found it actually quicker to take a picture with my camera, email it to myself on my laptop and use an OCR program there to convert it. So at the moment it's a bit of a waste of time to be honest.

Useless in Japanese

Didn't try it in any other language, but it's absolutely useless in Japanese. Tried a couple of times with really large, clear text -- just two kanji and two kana, and it was giving me these crazy results of like multiple sentences that had some other unrelated kanji repeated like 10 times and I don't even know.
