Works well AND it’s free

I used this app to scan a few pages of documents and convert to text to further edit on my laptop.

(For best results, I recommend using lots of light on documents you’re scanning, and using invert and 3D deskew before converting.)

Although no app does the job of OCR perfectly, this one gets close enough for further editing, so saving lots of time transcribing docs manually via typing, PLUS it’s free (did I mention that it’s free?)

Was 3/4 stars

Non unusable after its update or ios 14. Normally one option for grabbing a photo is Screenshots. Gone. Another was Recents. Gone.
Worse: I can’t get text! Before, after extraction, I could select a section of text to copy. Now when I hold done my finger I get a Share option only.
But selecting that 1) requires sending it and 2) puts a copy of the IMAGE, not text in the doc. Useless.
The functionality is completely gone.

Don’t Know

I used “”StitchPics” which sticker screenshots i took, the screenshots were of a digital document sample so the image Is legible and pretty clear, this app cannot pick up on the text present which got my hopes down. Oh well!! Guess I am typing everything from scratch

Finally a good one

This is the first image to text app that is ACTUALLY free AND works. 👍
