User reviews

Good but could have a few improvements

So I have somewhat good handwriting I mean you should be able to read it just fine, but this app can’t get it right. I’m trying to transfer my class notes to a google docs for school and this makes it really hard. I mean if you are willing to take the time to edit everything this is the app for you but if your in a hurry like me try something else.

It works!

Great job! App simply works, and the small banner ad at bottom if the screen is unobtrusive. Bravo!

How am app SHOULD BE

Remember back in the day, when apps worked? They did just what you needed and nothing more. Remember they were free? And if you wanted to get rid of ads you could? None
Of that subscription “joke of the day” type apps we are so unfortunate to be privy to in this era? This app will take you back to that special time. Here’s hoping it lasts!
Seriously, please support apps like this. They are a dying breed.

Could not figure out how to operate

Took a picture of a document and converted to black and white. Then could not figure out how to convert to text. No in-app instructions. Character recognition was sparse and totally inaccurate. Don’t bother to download until author improves the interface.

Response from developer

we improved text recognition, please check and review your ratings. we let you know once improved userinterface. cheers.

I Can't Believe This Is Free

I was looking for an app that could pull text from any document; on my phone or on paper. There are a bunch with in app purchases or free with limited use and annoying ads. This app is completely free, requires no in app purchases, has no ads and it works with literally any document. Just take a picture or a screenshot. I haven't tried it with handwritten notes yet. But I know even the best, most expensive software has trouble pulling text from handwriting.
