Photo Reader, where have you been all my life?

Photo Reader - A handy app

Photo Reader is a handy application. Itโ€™s simple, lightning quick, and accurate. I perform freelance work, and one client will send me only images of Excel files that display my projects, payments, etc. With Photo Reader, itโ€™s a snap to extract the data and paste it into an accounting application. I often photograph cooking recipes in books and magazines. Photo Reader extracts the text flawlessly. Remarkably, Photo Reader even worked well when one of the images was a bit blurry and askew.

After extracting the text, Photo Reader presents three tools at the bottom of the window, โ€œCancel,โ€ โ€œSelect All, Copy,โ€ and โ€œShare.โ€ The app defaults to your Photos Library, but, for files elsewhere, you can drag them onto the Select Photo icon (in macOS and iOS).
