### 2/5 — Платный

*2026-02-25*

Мало того что плохо распознает рукописный текст, так еще и скопировать текст и перенести невозможно- только платно!

### 2/5 — Ohne bezahlen geht nix

*2024-09-02, version 4.2.3*

Vermutlich ist das Basis Paket eine Einmalzahlung.
Leider kann ich auf die Schnelle nicht erkennen, was in diesem Basis Paket enthalten ist. Für mich ist es billiger gelegentlich mal einen Text abzutippen.

### 3/5 — Robot voice

*2024-07-06, version 4.2.2*

Works well to scan text. But my husband, who has very poor sight won’t use it as he hates the robot voice. I feel it should be able to use one of the voices from voiceover but can’t find a way.

### 3/5 — How do I get the 10-pack trial?

*2023-09-24, version 4.1*

I love Hydro, so I thought I should check out the rest. Turns out I have Prizmo Go, but none of the in-app purchases. Since the app description page mentions a free 10-pack, I thought I’d grab it. Like almost every other app, the reality of what I can purchase inside the app clashes with the description page. I'll never understand that. It's bad enough that it's nigh impossible to figure out what various purchases are supposed to provide, but worse when I look for a purchase clearly stated in the App Store. 

Lest you think this is only a Prizmo problem, let me assure you that it's absurdly common.

### 3/5 — Klare Schwächen bei mehrspaltigen Texten

*2023-08-02, version 4.1*

Wenn der Text mehrspaltig ist, versagt die App teilweise bei der Abgrenzung der Spalten. Sie liest dann zeilenweise über 2 oder 3 Spalten hinweg. So lässt sich der Inhalt eines Textes nicht erfassen.

Ansonsten funktioniert die Texterkennung überwiegend ganz passabel .

### 5/5 — Good 👍 pictures

*2022-10-24, version 3.2*

My photography look great,

### 2/5 — Does not read proper German

*2021-12-26, version 3.2*

It does not read German text in German. Why? I even got the upgrade saying that you can choose between languages? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

### 5/5 — Απίστευτη εφαρμογή

*2021-08-24, version 3.1.3*

Η εφαρμογή είναι απίστευτη! Αναγνωρίζει τα ελληνικά άριστα ακόμα και πολυτονικό!!! Η δε μετάφραση ακριβέστατη. Αξίζει ένα μπράβο θα δημιουργούς.

### 3/5 — Looks brilliant

*2021-07-14*

I can slide the bubble for easy reading. OCR functioning satisfactory

### 1/5 — Rien sans payer

*2021-04-09, version 3.1.2*

J’ai téléchargé l’application et suis assez déçue : cela retranscrit bien le texte sur les photos mais impossible de copier coller sans payer. Autant faire l’application payante directement puisque quel intérêt a une application « gratuite » si ça réécrit le texte mais on ne peut pas le copier sans payer. Enfin je déconseille c’est dommage de vouloir rendre tout payant ; continuez à chercher j’ai personnellement trouvé pleins d’autres applis gratuites qui font cela

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst experience

*2026-06-01*

Does not respond to detect different language even though yearly subscription paid. Worst app, no support nothing…?

### 1/5 — Parou de funcionar direito.

*2025-02-21, version 4.3*

Não está funcionando direito, lê mas mostra coisas que não existem.

### 1/5 — Para tuzağı

*2022-12-06, version 4.0.1*

Bedava diye lanse ediliyor ama fotoğrafını çektiğiniz metni kopyalamak parayla. Eee öyleyse fotoğrafını çekip kullanamadıktan sonra ne anlamı kaldı bedava olmasının ? İnsanları salak yerine koyan birilerinin ürettiği işe yaramaz program 👎🏼

### 1/5 — Vorne gelockt, hinten abgezogen

*2022-06-27, version 3.2*

Tolle Funktion, aber in der Freeversion völlig nutzlos. Texte mit mehr als ein paar wenigen Zeichen werden nicht vollständig angezeigt. Es gibt einen Werbe- und Kaufhinweis. 
Zugleich gut und unbrauchbar!

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2021-11-22, version 3.2*

Pessima

### 1/5 — Visto che è più le volte che non funziona che quelle che funziona per me sono soldi rubati

*2021-10-14, version 3.1.3*

Per me sono soldi rubati visto che non funziona per niente bene più le volte che non funziona che quelle che funziona

### 1/5 — Türkçe karakterlerde sorun var.

*2021-10-12, version 3.1.3*

Premium bir yıllık aboneliğim var ama memnun değilim. Türkçe karakterleri, Türkçe yazıları yanlış tarıyor.

### 1/5 — ohne zu zahlen - keine Funktion

*2021-06-21, version 3.1.3*

man kriegt ein Demo bei dem man gezeigt kriegt dass es funktionieren könnte. Kopieren des erkannten Textes funktioniert aber gar nicht. fail.
Und die Reaktion des Herstellers bestätigt genau das: es ist eine reine Demo. Für jegliche nützliche Funktion muss man zahlen. "Weil die Mehrheit es so will" ha ha

### 1/5 — Pb de langue

*2021-05-13, version 3.1.2*

Bjr. Je viens de télécharger l’app et un texte en français est lu en Anglais !! Je ne comprends pas ! Pourriez-vous m’expliquer ? Faut-il payer la version premium ? 😬. Merci

### 1/5 — Ücreti

*2021-05-13, version 3.1.2*

Ücreti boşa indirmeyin bedava değil çeviriyi kopyalama için para istiyor , beğen yukarda kalsın

### 5/5 — finally some good app

*2025-10-29, version 4.3.1*

after trying a lot of alternatives found this and pretty happy, even though it lack some of the features I need, we have to admit that it's a high quality app

### 5/5 — Better and better

*2025-09-07, version 4.3.1*

I bought an early version years ago, and didn’t find it much better than the other OCR apps at the time. But Prizmo Go kept improving as an app, and I got better at using its capabilities. Now it’s my go-to app for extracting text from just about anywhere. And it’s right there in the palm of my hand. 

[I have the Pro subscription]

### 5/5 — Amazingly useful app

*2025-07-24, version 4.3.1*

I have used this for a long time, and keep finding different ways it helps me.
I often read things; recipes, news articles, health papers, and this app enables me to put that written word in a document of my choice, or add to a text etc
Just by taking a screen shot and letting the app 'read it', then in seconds it is ready to paste into whatever I want  - Brilliant

*2024-06-26, version 4.2.2*
