## What is Scan2Clipboard?

Scan2Clipboard makes it easy to scan information, convert it to text and copy it to the clipboard! With one click, the text can be pasted and further edited on all your devices logged in under the same iCloud account (iPhone, iPad and Mac).  
Images from the Photos app can also be used for text recognition.
Recognized text can be selected and copied - ideal for phone numbers, for example.
If the text inserted in the clipboard is not accessible via Handoff, for example because text is to be inserted on a Windows desktop, the recognized text can also be shared as a PDF and therefore made available everywhere! 
Some of the mentioned functions are only fully available after the in-app purchase. Your in-app purchase allows Scan2Clipboard to have no ads or any tracking APIs. All data is processed on your device and stays there. Fair one-time payment with family sharing instead of ongoing subscription costs.

Scan2Clipboard für iOS überzeugt mit schneller, lokaler Texterkennung und praktischer Zwischenablage-Funktion. iCloud-Sync und Zusatzfeatures wie Teilen sind nützlich, die Bedienung ist in Ordnung. Solide App für Textdigitalisierung.

### 5/5 — Scan2Clipboard

*2023-06-11, version 1.50.0*

Nach so einer einfachen, selbsterklärenden App zur Texterkennung Habe ich für mein älteres IPhone schon länger gesucht.
Einfach und intuitiv zu bedienen, was will man mehr.
Tolle App

### 5/5 — Immer noch Genial

*2023-01-28, version 1.50.0*

Genau das, was ich immer gesucht habe. Ich schaue gerne nach Rezepten auf YouTube und musste die vorher mühsam abtippen. Mit dieser App klappt das wunderbar. Lob an die Entwickler. Den kleinen Betrag habe ich gerne als Unterstützung gezahlt!

Auch nach etlichen Monaten der Nutzung bin ich immer noch begeistert 🤩

*2022-04-24, version 1.34*

Die App macht was es soll. Selbst der Kontakt mit dem Entwickler Michael ist einfach super. Meinen Ergänzungsvorschlag, war er sofort offen, haben festgestellt, das durch das Update von IOS die Funktion nicht mehr da ist. Er will es jetzt beheben. Selbst die ProVersion ist erschwinglich und einfach nur empfehlenswert! Kann die App nur weiter empfehlen!
Update: der Support ist einfach nur spitze! Innerhalb von einem Tag den Fehler behoben. Es wird auch wirklich auf die emails geantwortet. Weiter so 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Macht was es soll !!

## Frequently asked questions about Scan2Clipboard

### What does Scan2Clipboard do?

Scan2Clipboard allows you to scan physical documents or images and convert them into editable text. This recognized text can then be easily copied to your clipboard for pasting and editing on other devices.

### How does text syncing work?

The app utilizes iCloud to sync recognized text to your clipboard across all your logged-in Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This enables seamless transfer of information between your devices.

### Is Scan2Clipboard free to use?

The app offers basic functionality for free. However, some advanced features are unlocked through a one-time in-app purchase. This purchase also removes ads and tracking APIs, ensuring your data remains private on your device.

### Can I use text from my Photos app?

Yes, you can use images already stored in your Photos app for text recognition. The app will process these images to extract any text present, making it convenient to digitize information from your existing photo library.

### What if I need to paste text on a non-Apple device?

If Handoff is not an option, such as pasting text onto a Windows desktop, you can share the recognized text as a PDF. This format ensures the text is universally accessible and can be easily transferred and used on any platform.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.60 — 2025-09-29

Adjustments to iOS 26

### 1.50.0 — 2022-06-18

With version 1.50.0 Scan2Clipboard has made a big step forward. Two of the new features were especially frequently requested: iCloud sync (iOS and macOS) and crop function for images from the Photos app.
 
Text recognition on images from the Photos app can now be limited to a range
With the camera function, you could always crop the area of the text recognition to exclude unwanted parts. This feature (crop) is now finally available with images from the Photos app. This was probably the most requested feature from you!

History sync across devices
From now on, all scan data stored in History will be synced with your other devices via iCloud
Recognized texts are automatically saved in the history
With this feature, no text recognition will be lost anymore. To avoid duplicates, the automatic saving checks if the recognized text already exists in the history. Of course, the previous manual function via longpress is still available and the automatic function can be deactivated in the settings.

With this version the data is also automatically synchronized to the Scan2Clipboard Helper App for macOS.
Hereby all recognized texts can be used directly on the Mac and can be inserted immediately in other programs. Of course, even without this new program on the Mac, the last recognized text is automatically copied to the clipboard for further use.

Not new, but still important:
Scan2Clipboard does not use any third-party interfaces, servers, advertisements, tracking features or the like. All your data stays on your device or in your secure iCloud.  Scan2Clipboard will never evaluate your recognized texts, track your usage behavior or share any data with third parties. If you want to use Scan2Clipboard without minimal restrictions, you can unlock the app as an in-app purchase by paying a small fee and not paying with your data. At Scan2Clipboard you are the customer and not the product! Through this you actively support the further development of this app!
 
In a short video on the Scan2Clipboard YouTube channel, the new features are presented, take a look.
Finally, there is only one thing left to say: I wish you a lot of fun with the new version of Scan2Clipboard!

### 1.34.1 — 2022-04-24

V1.34.1 fixes an error in connection with the options menu and the text selection.

### 1.34 — 2022-01-14

V1.34 now requires at minimum iOS15. Since iOS 15 runs on all devices that also support iOS14, no devices are excluded. The feedback dialogue has been optimised. The app is no longer left for a feedback mail. The dialogue for options for recognised text (longpress) now also looks more up-to-date!!

### 1.33 — 2021-11-17

Version 1.33 contains only minor bug fixes
